D Iron
Pole bracket carrying insulators off the pole structure
Product Overview
The D iron is the bracket that carries an insulator away from the pole so the conductor keeps its clearance. It is a cheap part with an expensive consequence: a pole delivered without its D irons cannot be dressed, and the crew stands down until the right bracket arrives.
Key Benefits
- Carries the insulator at the required offset from the pole
- Hot dip galvanised for decades of outdoor service
- Quoted with the insulators it carries rather than as a separate list
- Available in project quantities against a pole schedule
Problems It Solves
- Poles that cannot be dressed because brackets were left off the order
- Corroded brackets on older poles losing their mechanical margin
- Brackets that do not mate with the insulators supplied
Application Scenarios
- Dressing new distribution poles before stringing
- Insulator positions requiring offset from the pole body
- Refurbishment of corroded existing brackets
- Stocking pole line hardware for contractor customers
Who It Is For
- Line construction crews
- Distribution utilities
- Rural electrification contractors
- Electrical wholesalers stocking pole hardware
Technical Features
- Pole bracket carrying insulator positions
- Hot dip galvanised finish
- Matched to the insulator mounting arrangement
- Part of the standard pole assembly

Compared With Other Options
| Direct pole mounting | Where clearance allows it, direct mounting is simpler. A D iron exists for the positions where the insulator has to be offset from the pole body. |
|---|---|
| Socket adaptor | The adaptor mates two fitting arrangements. The D iron carries the insulator position off the structure. |
Use Guide
- Order brackets with the insulators they will carry
- Confirm hole pattern and offset against the pole assembly drawing
- Include a spares percentage - brackets are consumable in practice
- Avoid drilling or cutting galvanised brackets on site
