Overview

The ABB OST 42 Anti-Rotational Hot Line Stirrup (SKU: OST 42) is a crank-type connector designed for secure, rotation-resistant installations on ACSR conductors. This stirrup accommodates ACSR 4, stranded conductors up to 4 AWG, and solid conductors up to 6 AWG, ensuring compatibility with common medium-gauge overhead lines. The unit features a 10-unit width (A), a 2-unit bail, and a 2-3/4-inch length (C), optimized for compact clearance while maintaining mechanical integrity. The OST 42 is engineered with a die designation of O, ensuring precise fitment for standard conductor configurations. Its anti-rotational design prevents conductor slippage under thermal cycling or mechanical stress, reducing the risk of hot spots and service interruptions. This makes it ideal for hot-line maintenance and live-line installations where safety and reliability are critical. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, the OST 42 is a proven solution for utility and industrial applications requiring stable, low-maintenance conductor connections. Its compact dimensions and robust construction support long-term performance in outdoor environments, including areas exposed to vibration or wind loading.
