The U-type shackle, also commonly named U clevis, is a fundamental forged connecting fitting widely adopted in overhead transmission and distribution power networks. Manufactured from high-quality carbon steel and processed by integral hot-dip galvanization, it delivers reliable anti-corrosion performance to cope with long-term outdoor, coastal and polluted operating environments.
Structurally composed of a U-shaped main body, threaded pin, hex nut and cotter pin, it forms a secure anti-loosening connection. It serves as a transition connector between composite insulators, tension clamps, stay wires and tower fittings to transfer tensile loads steadily. Multiple standard sizes are available to match different power hardware combinations for overhead line engineering construction.
