Rule 86.7-A
86.7-A. Overhead Guys
All insulators in overhead guys shall be not less than 8 feet above the ground.
(1) Exposed: Ungrounded overhead guys which
are required by Rule 86.6-B1 to be sectionalized because of exposure to supply
conductors of 250-21,000 volts shall have an insulator not less than 6 feet
and not more than 9 feet (measured along the guy) from each point of attachment
to wood poles or structures which support conductors. One insulator will
suffice where such an overhead guy is less than 17 feet in length between
wood poles or structures.
(2) In Proximity: Overhead guys which are required to be
sectionalized by Rule 86.6-B2 shall have an insulator not less than 6 feet
and not more than 9 feet (measured along the guy) from each point of attachment
to poles, crossarms or structures (see App. G, Figs. 47 and 48).
Excepted from this requirement are guys to poles which support no conductors
provided such guys are not in proximity to supply conductors of 0-21,000
volts on any poles other than the poles to which they are attached. Such
guys, if required to be sectionalized by Rule 86.6-B2, shall have an insulator
6 to 9 feet from the point of attachment to the pole which supports conductors
(see App. G, Figs. 44b and 44e).

86.7-A. Overhead Guys
All insulators in overhead guys shall be not less than 8 feet above the ground.
(1) Exposed: Ungrounded overhead guys
which are required by Rule 86.6-B1 to be sectionalized because of exposure
to supply conductors of 250- 21,000 22,500 volts
shall have an insulator not less than 6 feet and not more than 9 feet (measured
along the guy) from each point of attachment to wood poles or structures
which support conductors. One insulator will suffice where such an overhead
guy is less than 17 feet in length between wood poles or structures.
(2) In Proximity: Overhead guys which are required to be
sectionalized by Rule 86.6-B2 shall have an insulator not less than 6 feet
and not more than 9 feet (measured along the guy) from each point of attachment

Excepted from this requirement are guys to poles which support no conductors
provided such guys are not in proximity to supply conductors of 0-
21,00022,500 volts on any poles other than the poles to which
they are attached. Such guys, if required to be sectionalized by Rule 86.6-B2,
shall have an insulator 6 to 9 feet from the point of attachment to the pole
which supports conductors (see App. G, Figs. 44b and 44e).

Rule 86.7-A
86.7-A. Overhead Guys
All insulators in overhead guys shall be not less than 8 feet above the ground.
(1) Exposed: Ungrounded overhead
guys which are required by
Rule 86.6-B1
to be sectionalized because of exposure to supply conductors of 250-22,500
volts shall have an insulator not less than 6 feet and not more than 9 feet
(measured along the guy) from each point of attachment to wood poles or structures
which support conductors. One insulator will suffice where such an overhead
guy is less than 17 feet in length between wood poles or structures.
(2) In Proximity: Overhead guys which are required to be
sectionalized by
Rule 86.6-B2
shall have an insulator not less than 6 feet and not more than 9 feet (measured
along the guy) from each point of attachment to poles, crossarms or structures
(see App. G, Figs.
47
and 48
).
Excepted from this requirement are guys to poles which support no conductors
provided such guys are not in proximity to supply conductors of 0-22,500
volts on any poles other than the poles to which they are attached. Such
guys, if required to be sectionalized by Rule
86.6-B2
, shall have an insulator 6 to 9 feet from the point of attachment to the
pole which supports conductors (see
App. G, Figs. 44b and 44e
).
