Features & Benefits:

Hot melt adhesive lining provides 100% environmental sealing against weathering, moisture, contamination and adverse environmental conditions according to IP 68.
Provides permanent waterproof barrier & environmental seal.
High resistance to UV rays, chemicals, corrosion, fungus, etc.
Stocking only a few sizes will fit most repair needs.
Sleeve can be cut to size in field to suit application.
Custom dimensions available on request.
Service life of Pole Protection Sleeve is more than 30 years.
Easy installation on concrete, steel or composite poles.
Use of Pole Protection Sleeves typically adds some nominal percentage to the total cost of New Pole replacement.
Standard Heat Shrinkable Sleeve (GMW) in tubular form is recommended to use on fresh Poles before installation for corrosion protection.

Pole Protection Sleeve has many recommended uses:

Relocated or reused poles
New poles, especially those to be set in pavement
Poles set in locations vulnerable to decay
High value installations
Standing poles that have the ground-line disturbed for underground cable installations or grade change
Poles stored for six months or more
