The Dual Auxiliary Arm is designed for use where a change of poles, crossarms or insulators is necessary.
The Dual Auxiliary Arm is lightweight and easily assembled. On regular construction, or alley arm construction, this tool can be used as a side arm.
NOTE
When the Dual Auxiliary Arm is used on voltages above 15 kV and the arm is to support energized conductors during unstable weather conditions, it is recommended that insulators (RM4805-7) be added to the wire holders for increased creepage distance, in case of sudden rainfall.
It is also recommended that when the arm is to be left up overnight or during a period of possible rain, the arm should be wiped with a Silicone- Soaked Hot Stick Wiping Cloth (RM1904).

TOOLS APPLICATION
- RE400-0008 (1-1/2” without insulator) - RM4805-15 (1” with insulator)
- RE400-0009 (1-1/2” with insulator) - RM4805-17 (1” without insulator)
The wireholders feature a 25 mm and 38 mm (1” or 1-1/2”) opening. They have a counterbalanced latch which closes automatically behind the conductor to hold it as the conductor is lowered into the wireholder. The latch must be swivelled with an insulated hand tool to release the conductor.
The wireholders are available with or without insulator and are provided with a 64 mm (0.21 ft) pole clamp for attachment to the crossarm of the dual auxiliary arm..
- RC400-0331 (Ø 64 mm - 2.5")
The wire tong stirrup can be ordered separately either as a replacement part or to be used with the existing equipment. It is intended for connection of the wire-tong braces of the dual auxiliary arm, using its pole band. Manufactured in light-weight aluminum alloy, easy to handle.
- RM1728-5
The wire tong pole clevis clamps around the vertical wire-tong supporting an auxiliary crossarm and engages butt rings of the two wire tongs used as side braces.
Manufactured in aluminum alloy, the two parts are assembled together with two eye-bolts, as one single piece.
Nominal working capacity: 1000 kgf (1000 daN)
- RC400-0562 - FLV00714-2
The dual Auxiliary Arm "T" is to be used specifically with the lifting arm application type.
