INNOVATIVE TECHNOLOGY – Only PUPI has thermally-bonded SunGUARD® UV protection for long life and TorqueGUARD™ bushings

for added hole strength. PUPI transmission braces are

available with patent-pending EZE-Fit™ end fittings that

adjust for attachment to pre-existing structures. GEOTEK,

the producer of PUPI crossarms, has nearly 40 years of

pultrusion experience and state-of-the-art composite

testing capabilities to drive constant innovation.

ECONOMICAL – The initial cost of PUPI transmission crossarms and braces is competitive with other materials, but PUPI delivers so

much more! PUPI’s light weight assemblies often require

less labor and lighter equipment to install. After installation,

PUPI’s long life and maintenance-free performance drives

down operating costs for years and years.

LONG-LASTING PERFORMANCE – The strength and performance characteristics of PUPI crossarms and braces do not change over time. PUPI

products do not rot, dry out, split, or shrink from the

effects of weather and UV radiation. They are completely

resistant to insects and woodpeckers. PUPI products

will never rust or require painting – they are truly

maintenance-free.

SUPERIOR INSULATING PROPERTIES – Unlike steel transmission structures, PUPI crossarms and braces have excellent insulating properties. In fact,

PUPI crossarms are often used with steel or concrete

poles to prevent unintended grounding. The smooth,

non-porous surface of PUPI crossarms resists surface

contamination and will never absorb water, making

PUPI a better insulator than wood. PUPI crossarms

have passed extensive electrical performance testing by

leading independent laboratories.

The Most Comprehensive Line Of Fiberglass Transmission Crossarms And Braces Available!

PUPI® is the leader in fiberglass crossarms for the electrical power industry. Available for single-pole and H-frame structures, PUPI transmission crossarms and braces are engineered for maximum strength and consistent performance in a wide-range of standard and made-to-order configurations. With exclusive SunGUARD® UV resistant coating and TorqueGUARD™ bushings, PUPI crossarms are proven to withstand the elements better than wood, steel or other composite beams – in any climate!

TRANSMISSION PRODUCTS


CUSTOM APPLICATION ENGINEERING – PUPI offers electric utilities the most complete line of fiberglass transmission crossarms and braces available.

PUPI crossarms and braces can be used in combination

with any type of pole material and can be fitted to a wide

variety of hardware and fittings. Gray and brown colors

are available. Our standard offerings are extensive and

our engineers are ready to design a PUPI solution to fit

nearly any transmission crossarm application.

STRONGER AND LIGHTER THAN WOOD – PUPI transmission crossarms and braces are constructed of pultruded fiberglass to deliver more consistent strength

with less weight than comparable wood assemblies.

Because PUPI products are manufactured under carefully

controlled conditions, they are free from the natural

variations found in wood. The strength performance of

PUPI products is consistent and reliable!

FOR THE ENTIRE PUPI PRODUCT CATALOG VISIT:

Our patent-pending EZE-Fit™ end fitting design provides 130° of angle adjustment – plus up to 10 inches of length adjustment per brace! EZE-Fit™ end fittings are designed to allow secure attachment to existing poles and attachment holes. This adjustability is especially valuable for use with concrete, composite or steel poles where field-drilling is difficult.

EXTENSIVE PRODUCT TESTINGAll PUPI® products are the result of intensive design efforts and rigorous testing to assure they meet required performance standards and published specifications.

MECHANICAL TESTING – PUPI transmission crossarms are tested by applying vertical loads at a constant rate to the wire attachments, measuring load and deflection until the beam fractures. H-Frame assemblies are tested in 3 phase, 2 pole configurations. Load deflection plots are virtually linear to the fracture point for all PUPI crossarms.

PUPI mechanical test methods are designed to closely represent actual product service conditions. Test specimens are drilled with the same hole configuration as the final product. Production mounts and attachment hardware are used and loads are applied at the same points that will be used in the final application. To assure accuracy, our testing methods and procedures are verified by independent test facilities.

ELECTRICAL TESTING – PUPI transmission crossarms have undergone extensive electrical testing at leading independent laboratories.

PUPI high voltage fiberglass transmission structure testing (IEC 60060-1) 15+ impulses, 15- impulses• Dry lighting impulse tests to 1050 kV• Dry switching impulse tests to 850 kV• Dry power frequency tests to 460 kV• Wet switching impulse tests to 850 kV• Wet power frequency tests to 460 kV• No flashover in any tests, pass all test

ASTM Tests (coupons cut from beam walls)• Dielectric Strength (ASTM D149)

- 200 – 320 V/mil through beam wall, mean 254 V/mil- 141 – 196 V/mil along beam principal axis, mean 167 V/mil

• Surface Resistivity (ASTM D257)- 1 – 4 X 1015 ohms

IN-PROCESS QUALITY TESTING – In addition to performance testing, our manufacturing processes are constantly monitored with in-process quality control testing procedures. All GEOTEK products, including PUPI, are manufactured in accordance with our Quality Management System based on the ISO 9001:2008 framework.

Nobody has more experience testing fiberglass crossarms than PUPI.

H-FRAME TESTING

BUILT IN USAPUPI crossarms and braces are designed and built in the USA. All of our fiberglass pultrusion, fabrication and assembly are performed at our plant in Stewartville, MN.
