What hardware makes up a complete stay (guy) assembly?
A typical stay (guy) assembly runs from the pole attachment down to the ground anchor: a stay rod with anchor plate at the base, a turnbuckle to tension the assembly, shackles and eye bolts to make the connections, the stay wire itself, and a stay insulator positioned so the lower, touchable section is isolated from the live pole-top. Silverstone Electric supplies the complete hardware set — galvanized steel — from Suzhou, China.

Frequently asked
Where does the stay insulator sit?
Low in the assembly, at a height that keeps the ground-level section effectively isolated from the live pole-top; exact placement follows your utility's practice.
Which data is needed to quote?
Stay wire diameter, pole attachment detail and anchor type; rod, turnbuckle and shackle sizes follow from those.
Are assemblies supplied as kits?
Yes — rods, turnbuckles, shackles, eye bolts and stay insulators can be packed as matched sets per pole to speed line erection.
