OVERHEAD LINE SPLICES

• Redesigned GDW2000 Series• Fastest method of deadending ACSR, AAAC,and AAC conductor.• Accepts wide range of conductor sizes. Highstrength Aluminum alloy body and jaws.• Requires no wrenches or special tools.• Can be repositioned on conductor duringinstallation.• Plated jaws available to accomodate copperconductors.Note: For plated jaws remove “A” suffix.Example: GDW2010DISTRIBUTION CONNECTORSDEADENDSAUTOMATICOVERHEAD SIDE-OPENING WEDGEALUMINUMGDW2000 SERIESSECTION DAALUMINUMGDW2000DA5Material:Body and Jaws – High strengthAluminum AlloyClevis Pin – Galvanized SteelCotter Pin – Stainless Steel• To remove space bar, add Suffix “NSB”GDW2000 DEADENDDESIGN IMPROVEMENTS• Permanent Mold Body Casting: Higherstrength with tighter tolerance control.• Staked Jaw Keepers: Hold jaws in place.Permanently captivates jaw set. Jawsaccept a wide conductor range soinventory is minimized.• Parallel Legs: This improvement allowsfor easy conductor passage andinstallation of larger conductors.Conductor is quickly cradled withinthe deadend.• Pulling Eye: Moved on the body side foreasier access and sagging of conductor.• Interlocking Die Cast Jaws: Redesignedfor improved positive locking action andmovement. Helps eliminate tigheningerrors. Aluminum or plated jaws accomodatealuminum and copper conductors.CATALOGNUMBERGDW2010A***GDW2010**GDW2040A***GDW2040**CONDUCTOR RANGEDECIMAL RANGEINCHES (MM)* Plated aluminum jaws provided to accommodate copper conductors.** RUS ListedULTIMATE STRENGTH(LBS)DIMENSIONSINCHES (MM)MINIMUM MAXIMUM MINIMUM MAXIMUM BODY SAG EYE A B C#4 str AAC#4 AAAC#4 ACSR#4 str CU#4 str AAC#4 AAAC#4 ACSR#4 str CU2/0 str AAC2/0 AAAC2/0 ACSR2/0 str CU4/0 str AAC4/0 AAAC4/0 ACSR3/0 str CU.23(5.8).23(5.8).45(11.4).57(14.5)6,000 4,0008,000 6,0007.5(190.5)8.0(203.2)2.0(50.8)2.0(50.8)4.5(114.3)4.9(124.5)APPROX.WEIGHTEA LBS(KG)1.5(.07)2.0(0.9)DA-5HUBBELL ® Power SystemsDecember 2011
