Stay Rod
Stay anchor rod for line angle and termination pole guying
Product Overview
Wherever a line turns or ends, the conductor tension pulls the pole sideways, and a stay assembly transfers that pull into the ground. The stay rod is the buried half of that assembly. It is structural hardware doing structural work, which is why the anchor depth and the stay angle matter as much as the rod itself.
Key Benefits
- Transfers conductor tension at angles and terminations into the ground anchor
- Hot dip galvanised for buried and part-buried service
- Supplied with the clamps and fittings that complete the stay assembly
- Ordered on the same schedule as the pole line hardware
Problems It Solves
- Poles pulling out of plumb at angles and terminations
- Stay assemblies built from mismatched components sourced separately
- Corrosion at the buried section of an under-specified anchor
Application Scenarios
- Line angle positions where the conductor changes direction
- Terminal poles at the end of a line or spur
- Section poles carrying unbalanced tension
- Re-staying poles that have started to lean
Who It Is For
- Line construction crews
- Distribution utilities
- Rural electrification contractors
- Maintenance teams correcting leaning poles
Technical Features
- Stay anchor rod for buried installation
- Hot dip galvanised finish
- Used with stay wire clamps and anchor plate
- Sized against the line tension at the position

Compared With Other Options
| Concrete block anchor | The anchor arrangement is a soil and design question. The stay rod is the component that connects the stay wire to whichever anchor the design uses. |
|---|---|
| Push brace | A brace takes compression; a stay takes tension. The line arrangement decides which is used. |
Use Guide
- Set the stay angle and anchor depth from the design, not from site convenience
- Avoid cutting or grinding the galvanised surface on site
- Tension the stay against the design load rather than by feel
- Re-check stay tension on the first maintenance visit

Stay Rod Questions
What size stay rod do I need
It is set by the line tension at the position and the anchor arrangement. Send the assembly drawing or the tension figures.
Are the stay wire clamps supplied with the rod
They can be, and ordering the complete assembly together is what prevents a half-built stay at site.
Why does the stay angle matter
A stay that is too steep puts more compression into the pole than the designer intended, which is its own failure mode.
