    Default Copper preforms???

    Featured Sponsor

    Does anyone know what company makes copper preforms. We are having a problem with rigid copper deadends and wedge deadend shoes rusting and corroding. Sure would be easier to install a preform than mac everything out so you can stuff the copper through another deadend that won't last.


    Thanks

    I've got one on my truck left over from strom work and will check the tape to see what company makes them.
    I may be stupid, but at least I'm ugly

    If your deadend shoes are not lasting on copper they weren't made for copper. A copper deadend is either brass or has a bimetallic liner installed.

    Well thrasher the wedge style deadends we use are a bi-metal deadend and the rigid deadend is rusting out with a galvanized and copper deadend but thanks for the reply.

    And thanks to all the replys so far.
