Rule 56.7-A
56.7-A. Overhead Guys
Insulators installed in overhead guys to sectionalize such guys as required by any portion of Rule 56.6 shall be located at a distance of not less than 6 feet and not more than 9 feet, measured along the guys, from the points of attachment of the guys to poles, crossarms or structures (see App. G, Fig 46). In such overhead guys which are less than 17 feet in length with no section grounded, insulation at one location, approximately equidistant from each support will be sufficient.
Overhead guys attached to wood poles, crossarms or structures and to grounded anchor guys or metal poles shall be sectionalized at not less than one location, 6 to 9 feet (measured along the guys) from the attachment at the wood pole or structure (see App. G, Fig 46).
Branched guys, sometimes referred to as bridle guys, which are attached at two or more positions to the same crossarm or pole line structure, and which are required under the provisions of Rule 56.6 to be sectionalized, shall be sectionalized by means of insulators in each branch or by means of insulators in the main guy and all branches except one, so that no two branches of such guy constitute a continuous metallic path between separate points of attachment to crossarms or structures (see App. G, Fig 50). In conforming with these requirements, insulators in branches of guys should be placed as far as practicable from attachments at pole or crossarm but not more than 9 feet there-from.
All insulators in overhead guys shall be not less than 8 feet vertically above the ground.

Rule 56.7-A
56.7-A. Overhead Guys
Insulators installed in overhead
guys to sectionalize such guys as required by any portion of Rule 56.6 shall be
located at a distance of not less than 6 feet and not more than 9 feet,
measured along the guys, from the points of attachment of the guys to poles,
crossarms or structures (see App. G, Fig 46 Fig 56-5 and fig 56-6).
In such overhead guys which are less than 17 feet in length with no section grounded, insulation at one location, approximately equidistant from each support will be sufficient.
Overhead guys attached to wood
poles, crossarms or structures and to grounded anchor guys or metal poles shall
be sectionalized at not less than one location, 6 to 9 feet (measured along the
guys) from the attachment at the wood pole or structure (see App. G, Fig 46 Fig
56-5 and fig 56-6)
Branched guys, sometimes referred
to as (bridle guys), which are attached at two or more
positions to the same crossarm or pole line structure, and which are required
under the provisions of Rule 56.6 to be sectionalized, shall be sectionalized
by means of insulators in each branch or by means of insulators in the main guy
and all branches except one, so that no two branches of such guy constitute a
continuous metallic path between separate points of attachment to crossarms or
structures (see App. G, Fig 50 Fig 56-7). In conforming with these requirements,
insulators in branches of guys should be placed as far as practicable from
attachments at pole or crossarm but not more than 9 feet there-from.
All insulators in
overhead guys shall be not less than 8 feet vertically or
more above the ground.

In such overhead guys which are less than 17 feet in length with no section grounded, insulation at one location, approximately equidistant from each support will be sufficient.

Branched guys, (bridle guys), which are attached at two or more positions to the same crossarm or pole line structure, and which are required under the provisions of Rule 56.6 to be sectionalized, shall be sectionalized by means of insulators in each branch or by means of insulators in the main guy and all branches except one, so that no two branches of such guy constitute a continuous metallic path between separate points of attachment to crossarms or structures (Fig 56-7). In conforming with these requirements, insulators in branches of guys should be placed as far as practicable from attachments at pole or crossarm but not more than 9 feet there-from.
All insulators in overhead guys shall be not less than 8 feet or more vertically above the ground.
