Description
The Alley Arm Back Brace is a sturdy, high-strength angle steel component designed for overhead power distribution and transmission systems, particularly in narrow alleyways or confined spaces. It provides essential rigid reinforcement to support alley arms (crossarms mounted asymmetrically on one side of the utility pole), enhancing structural stability and preventing deflection under load. By maintaining precise alignment and proper spacing of conductors, insulators, and related hardware, this brace ensures reliable power delivery while reducing stress on the pole. Installed at a 45-degree angle with a diagonal configuration from the pole to the alley arm, it delivers robust backing, making it ideal for unbalanced loads, side-mounted configurations, or areas with spatial constraints.
