Umbrella Dielectric with 72 in. Fiberglass Pole Rated to 40 kV per ASTM D-149
70352
Umbrellas provide fast shelter from the sun whether working aloft or on the ground.
- Use the dielectric umbrella when working near power conductors to help reduce potential sources of electrical shock.
O.S.H.A. Safety-related Work Practices 1910.335 safeguards for personnel protection: (2) General protective equipment and tools. (i) When working near exposed energized conductors or circuit parts, each employee shall use insulated tools or handling equipment if the tools or handling equipment might make contact with such conductors or parts. If the insulating capability of insulated tools or handling equipment is subject to damage, the insulating material shall be protected. - A tough plastic 68 in. (173cm) diameter umbrella cover is colored safety yellow on top (custom company logos available upon request).
- A reflective white underside cuts down on the interior heat absorption and is vinyl-coated; nylon rib-end pockets keep the frame from tearing the cover.
- Self-sealing waterproofed, waxed stitching, and improved construction using a nylon sleeve and rib retainers for attaching the frame’s six (6) collapsible fiberglass ribs.
- The ribs connect at a ring-type lock that slides along the pole to open and close the umbrella. To lock the ring when open, just slide it over the set pin in the pole and rotate it.
