Preformed Line Products Armor Rod — Galvanized Steel, 44 in.
The Preformed Line Products AR-1128 Armor Rod is a black-coded galvanized steel rod designed to protect overhead conductors from mechanical damage and electrical stress. At 44 inches in length and 0.100 inches in diameter, it wraps around conductors to provide a protective layer against bending, compression, abrasion, and flash-over. In addition to protection, armor rods are used to repair damaged aluminum-based conductors and restore their mechanical strength and electrical conductivity.
