Applications
  • IEEE Maintenance Standard #978: States that the best way to clean a stick is to use isopropyl alcohol followed by a silicone wiping cloth. The S-1 cleverly combines both alcohol and silicone in a one-step process.
  • Versatile: S-1 wipes improve insulating performance after cleaning and protecting clamp sticks, hot sticks, bracing arms, cutters and jumper holders.

Safety & Health

Safety Guidelines

Existing regulations mandate that each live-line toll shall be wiped clean and visually inspected for defects before use each day, noting that a hot stick can become electrically unsafe because of a combination of wetting, surface contamination and a loss of surface gloss. The best defense against accidents is a clean, glossy stick that causes water to bead up.
