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
conducted at 50KV-AC.
This product is 100% lot tested for
dielectric conformance.
Splice Instructions:
Cut the end of the rope at an angle, and
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
develops 90% of
the ropes strength
and is acceptable
for most
applications.

quick splice can

* 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
use of rone.
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.
