Appropriate fittings for UG cables up TasNetworks poles

There is an increase in the number of jobs that TasNetworks attends where there are no fixings (saddles & screws) supplied or the incorrect sizes and quantity supplied.

To help avoid delays to your connection or additional charges for wasted site visits, you must (as per the Service & Installation Rules 6.5.2);

• Provide enough saddles & fixings to run the full length of cable up the TasNetworks pole.
• Ensure the saddles are the correct size to ensure a 'snug' (not too loose / not too tight) fit around the cable.
• Enough fixings must be supplied to support the cable at 1 metre intervals.
• Saddles provided must be full saddles (not half).

If these fitting are not provided or are not the correct size, your job may be delayed.
