Abstract: A connector is provided for tensioning a guy line and connecting the guy line to a ground anchor or a tower. The connector may include a first body and a second body connected together by two or more threaded rods. The first body is connected to the ground anchor or the tower. The second body has a tapered cavity extending therethrough. The guy line extends through the tapered cavity, and wedges with a first and second inner arcuate surface that are vertically offset from one another are pushed into the tapered cavity. The first arcuate inner surface and the second arcuate inner surface may grip the guy line after the wedges have been pushed into the tapered cavity, while the vertical offsetting of the second arcuate inner surface reduces that stress on the guy line at an end of wedges. The first and second bodies may be drawn toward each other to tension the guy line.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a ground roller assembly for grounding electrical current induced in a conductor during installation of high power transmission lines. The ground roller assembly may include a mounting bracket having a plurality of pivot points spaced away from a mounting aperture, and an integrally formed tongue projecting outwardly away from an upper edge of the mounting bracket. A support arm may be coupled to one of the plurality of pivot points positioned proximate to a side edge of the mounting bracket.

Abstract: The present disclosure provides a stringing block. The stringing block may include a sheave with a circumferential groove with a pair of opposed walls. The opposed walls may extend away from the base of the groove to a flair point at a first angle. The opposed walls may extend away from the flair point to a rim at a second angle that is less than the first angle.
