DX Engineering Insulator and Bent Pin Shackle Kits are used for guy line attachment to towers for Amateur Radio and commercial applications. Insulated attachments prevent RF noise that can be created by Two kits are offered that include three Insulators of either size and three Bent Pin Shackles.

The included porcelain guy strain insulators are commonly known in ham radio tower work as the "502" or the "504" so that is how these insulators are numbered. They have the mechanical strength of 10,000 pounds and 12,000 pounds, respectively. Each accepts big grip dead ends for either metallic or non-metallic guy lines.

Also known as a clevis in the power industry, Bent Pin Shackles are specially designed with a removable bent bolt and locking nut to go through the outer hole of the matching insulator. Forged from 1/2 in. steel and hot dip galvanized, these shackles have a minimum ultimate strength of over 12,000 lbs. and have a rounded end that is large enough to be used around a tower leg. However, the assembly of the guy line and these insulated attachments are typically connected to a tower ear or guy bracket with a screw pin shackle used as a link.
