Failsafe Backstay Insulators

Failsafe Insulator Pulling Tools for WireTeknik

The Failsafe Insulator is engineered with an internal ball-socket in the main body that threads onto the connecting end fitting. The internal retaining nut is insulated from the stainless steel body by a Tufnol™ socket, preventing electrical transference to the insulator body or opposite terminal. Should, for any reason, the Tufnol™ be compromised, the nut will bottom out against the stainless housing. While the backstay will loosen, the insulating studs will remain attached to the insulator body. This allows the rig to be re-tensioned until a repair can be made.

The design of the insulators allows for numerous end fitting combinations. A permanent thread locking compound is applied to the center body coupling at time of order. Check with your Hayn sales associate about applicable re-stocking fees.

Insulators with Swage style ends can be ordered “Un-Glued” in order to swage with a WireTeknik or equivelant roll swager. Please indicate “Un-Glued” at time of order by including the suffix “-DEMI” to the end of the part number. See the chart below for applicable WireTeknik pulling attachments.

End fitting options include Swage, Compression, Eye, Toggle, and Fork. See listing below for possible combinations and part number conventions:

Insulators are assembled from two halves utilizing a center coupling. Any combination of halves detailed above is available. Permanent thread locker is used at the center joint to finalize the assembly process.
