HY-DEE BRAIT. Hy-Dee is an 8-strand bi-polymer rope with extraordinary dielectric properties. The rope is nubby which provides excellent grip, and treated with a proprietary chemical mixture Yale calls Aralube-dielectric. This treatment is the key to Hy-Dee Brait's wet dielectric performance and allows us to make the highest dielectric strength rope commercially available. Easy to splice with a tucking procedure or by the quick splice method illustrated. Hy-Dee Brait meets ASTM 1701-12 which calls for a maximum leakage of 250 micro- amperes at any time during the wet test. Elec- trodes are 1 foot apart, shielded and the test is This product is 100% lot tested for dielectric conformance. Splice Instructions: brummell it through the standing part of the rope five times. The insertion point each time moves down the rope two pics before the end is reinserted and passed through the rope. The splice is finished by cutting off the extra rope and taping it to the standing portion of the rope. This quick splice Average Spliced Break Strength* Minimum Spliced Break Strength* * Knots and abrupt bends significantly reduce the strength of all ropes and lowers the maximum working load. ** Working load is based on static or moderately dynamic lifting/pulling operations. Instant changes in load up or down in excess of 10% of the rope's rated working load constitutes hazardous shock load and would void normal working load recommendation. Consult Yale Cordage for guidelines for working loads and safe Dielectric Strength: The maximum allowable leakage for clean, dry Hy-Dee Brait is 5 Micro Amperes when tested at 90KV per ASTM 1701-05 "Routine Production Test". Absorbed and entrained moisture or impurities will increase ropes conductivity dramatically.
