The Salisbury Nylon Blanket Clamp Peg (Model 21) is an insulated-blanket accessory designed to securely hold insulating rubber blankets or cover-ups in place when working on live, or potentially live, overhead or underground electrical equipment. The clamp pin ensures that blankets remain fixed and stable over conductors, busbars, or other energized components, essential for worker safety during maintenance, repair or live-line work.
Typical Applications
- Securing insulating rubber blankets or line-hose covers during live-line work, maintenance or inspection of overhead/underground distribution systems.
- Retrofitting onto existing cover-up kits to ensure blankets remain fixed under environmental conditions (wind, vibration, worker movement).
- Use in conjunction with insulating blankets when covering energized hardware — such as bus-bars, terminals, switchgear or cable-ends, to reduce risk of accidental contact or arc-flash.
- Deployment by utility linemen, maintenance crews, and field technicians as part of personal protective equipment (PPE) and cover-up systems.
