Hi-MOD Insulator - Compression to Compression - 3/8" Wire

Hi-Mod Failsafe Insulators: Compression-to-Compression

The Failsafe Insulator is engineered with an internal ball-socket in the main body that threads onto the connecting end fitting. The internal retaining nut is insulated from the stainless steel body by a Tufnol™ socket, preventing electrical transference to the insulator body or opposite terminal. Should, for any reason, the Tufnol™ be compromised, the nut will bottom out against the stainless housing. While the backstay will loosen, the insulating studs will remain attached to the insulator body. This allows the rig to be re-tensioned until a repair can be made.

Insulator End Fitting Configuration Options:

• Swage
• Compression
• Eye
• Toggle
• Fork

Sailing Services stocks the failsafe insulator with the Hi-Mod Compression-to-Compression configuration. The design of the insulators allows for numerous end fitting combinations.

Insulators are assembled from two halves utilizing a center coupling. Any combination of halves is available, see diagram to the right for potential configurations. Permanent thread locker is used at the center joint to finalize the assembly process.
