Predominantly used to cover live or energised power lines, line hose is manufactured from an orange blend of prime EPDM known as Salcor®, which remains flexible even in cold weather and is not damaged by ozone or ultraviolet rays. Each line hose has the unique RIB-GRIP Locking System:
The tightest grip in the industry: The patented self-locking lip prevents line hose from coming off the conductor after an installation is complete. Often, as a linesman is working on an installation and making adjustments, the angle of connection shifts, causing line hose and covers to separate. To prevent this, an ingenious solution was developed to ensure that any two protective devices would hold together yet still be easy for a linesman to assemble and take apart. Known as the RIB-GRIP® this construction takes advantage of rubber's natural tendency to tighten its grip through compression. By creating curving rib configurations slit at a specific angle, two pieces easily slip together but resist coming apart. To quickly disengage the linesman needs only to compress the rubber on either side.
