Original Version
Rule 54.7A-4


54.7-A4)    Allowable Climbing Space Obstructions: Crossarms and their supporting members are allowed in climbing spaces provided that, where buck arms are involved, any arms within climbing spaces are treated as double arms.

Suitably protected vertical conductors attached tot eh surfaces of poles, and guys, (except those guys contacting metal pins or dead-end hardware as specified in Rule 52.7-D) are allowed in climbing spaces provided that not more than one guy and one vertical riser, run, or ground wire are installed in any 4-foot vertical section of climbing space.  The terminals or terminal fittings of risers or runs shall not be installed within climbing spaces.

Pin-type insulators which support line conductors of 21,000 volts or less may extend not more than one-half of their diameter into the climbing space.  Dead-end or strain type insulators which support line conductors of 0-750 volts may extend not more than one-half of their diameter into the climbing space.

Modifications of these requirements for rack construction are specified in Rule 54.9-F.
