WHY PUPI®
WHY PUPI®
DURABILITY PUPI fiberglass crossarms are designed to be the most durable
alternative to wood, steel - even other composite crossarms! Our
heavy-duty construction and exclusive TorqueGUARD™ bushings
protect against damage during hardware installation and provide
maximum resistance to bolt and pin torque. In many applications, a
single PUPI crossarms has the strength to replace two or more wood
crossarms. PUPI users have the peace of mind that they are installing
the most durable crossarms available.
PUPI crossarms are engineered products, manufactured with a

RELIABILITY fiberglass pultrusion process that creates products of the highest
quality and consistency. Unlike wood, PUPI crossarms are totally free
from knots and imperfections that can cause failure over time. PUPI
crossarms can withstand transient loads that cause wood crossarms to
fail. Because they are specifically designed for utility use, they have
the strength to handle any situation, yet are also lightweight and easy
to install.
LONGEVITY SunGUARD ® UV protection is thermally-bonded to the surface of every

PUPI product, providing the most durable protection available against
UV damage. Rigorous testing shows that SunGUARD ® UV coating
will maintain its effectiveness for at least 60 years, in any climate.
Additionally, every PUPI crossarm is completely filled with closed-cell
sealant to lock out moisture and contaminants. There has never been
a failure of a SunGUARD-treated PUPI crossarm due to environmental
degradation.
CUSTOMER FOCUS Understanding customer needs on a deep level has been a key to the
success of PUPI crossarms. We have extensive testing and design
capabilities that assure the best solutions to our customers’ application
needs. We understand the critical nature of the services our customers
provide and respond quickly to requests for emergency shipments.
Every PUPI product is backed by a dedicated support team that is
ready and willing to do what it takes to get the job done.
LEADERSHIP PUPI developed the first commercially successful composite crossarm

and has led the way since our first crossarm was shipped in 1990. We
have invested in materials lab and testing facilities that set us apart from
our competition. Today, PUPI is the market share leader in fiberglass
crossarms, giving us the largest installed base and the longest service
record of any composite crossarm manufacturer. Our products are used
at hundreds of utilities across North America and the World. Our track
record and dedication to our customers are what keeps PUPI customers
coming back year after year.

PULTRUSION PROCESS
PUPI ® has more fiberglass crossarm pultrusion experience
than any manufacturer. Pultrusion is a highly automated
and controlled process for manufacturing continuous fiber
reinforced composite materials of the highest strength and
reliability. Continuous glass fibers are combined with fiber
mats, impregnated with thermosetting resin and drawn through
heated precision dies to cure the structure. For PUPI products,
an ultraviolet inhibitor is included in the resin, a resin-rich
veil mat forms the surface of the part and SunGUARD ® UV
resistant coating is thermally bonded to produce composite
products with unmatched resistance to outdoor weathering.
PUPI pultruded products are designed and manufactured under
careful process control to give uniform, predictable properties
and reliable performance.
SUNGUARD® UV COATING
All PUPI products feature three levels of weathering protection
including exclusive SunGUARD ® UV coating. GEOTEK has
been manufacturing fiberglass structural products for outdoor
applications since 1972. Since 1982, all fiberglass structures
have been produced with SunGUARD ® UV coating. Since
then, not a single product failure of any SunGUARD ® UV
coated product has been noted anywhere in the world due to
environmental degradation, nor has any measurable coating
erosion over time been documented. That’s because patented
SunGUARD ® UV coating is thermally bonded to the surface
of PUPI crossarms during the pultrusion process. No other
crossarm offers more protection against the elements. With
three levels of UV and weathering protection you can expect
PUPI crossarms to last 60 or more years in any climate – and
we have the longest track record to prove it.
PUPI 3 LEVELS OF UV PROTECTION:

LEVEL 1. An outer surface of our exclusive thermally-bonded
SunGUARD UV ® coating.
LEVEL 2. A layer of ultraviolet-resistant polyester veil covers
the beam underneath the SunGUARD UV ® coating.
LEVEL 3. A broad spectrum UV inhibitor is used throughout the
entire resin system.
* See the technical appendix for a full description of the PUPI UV protection system.

TORQUEGUARD™ BUSHINGS
PUPI fiberglass crossarms are built to withstand bolt torque and increase pin connection strength.
PUPI tangents, deadends and transmission arms are available with exclusive crush-resistant internal
bushings to prevent damage from over-tightening. PUPI crossarms can withstand over 450 ft-lbs of
bolt-tightening torque. It’s a unique idea that makes installation faster and easier – without the worry
of damaging the crossarm. PUPI crossarms with TorqueGUARD™ bushings have been tested to
exceed RUS requirements for transverse and longitudinal torque strength.
CLOSED-CELL SEALANT
Inside every PUPI tangent, deadend and transmission arm, you’ll find closed-cell polyurethane
foam that seals the beam to prevent moisture contamination – and allows field drilling along the
length of the arm. This lightweight foam is designed to completely fill the inside of the beam and
will never absorb moisture, or allow water to enter the crossarm.
PRECISION DRILLING
PUPI crossarm holes are drilled by automated equipment to meet the tightest of tolerances. Holes
are carefully drilled “outside-in” to prevent any possibility of delamination or rough edges.

DESIGNED FOR EASE OF USE

PUPI fiberglass crossarms are designed for field-ready flexibility and easy, efficient installation. A crossarm 60 feet
in the air, weighing half the weight of a treated wood beam can make a big difference. PUPI tangents, deadends and
transmission arms are ergonomically engineered for the unique demands your field teams face day in and day out.
Available in standard drill patterns, or made to order and drilled to your specifications, PUPI crossarms are available
with exclusive crush-resistant TorqueGUARD™ bushings that can withstand over 450 ft-lbs of bolt-tightening torque.
Light weight for less fatigue and splinter-free for safer handling. Compared to heavier wood or other composite
beams, PUPI fiberglass crossarms can take less half the time to install because they’re designed to use fewer parts
and pieces without any special tools – and linemen aren’t exposed to creosote, chromated copper arsenate (CCA)
and other chemicals used in treated wood. The closed-cell sealant that fills every PUPI crossarm allows field drilling
when necessary. From safer insulating properties to impact-resistant end caps, your field teams can rely on PUPI
crossarms for superior strength and consistent performance in any climate.
With three levels of UV and weathering protection you can expect less maintenance and fewer replacements. PUPI
crossarms are built to last 60 or more years in any climate – with the longest field experience track record to prove it.

SOLID RETURN ON INVESTMENT

Count on PUPI fiberglass crossarms to deliver a stronger ROI over time than wood.
Right from the start, material cost of a PUPI deadend can be less than a wood deadend assembly.
PUPI tangents are a great value, too. When you consider initial material cost and installation, ongoing
maintenance and replacement cost, PUPI fiberglass crossarms deliver a better long-term return on investment
than wood or other composite beams. PUPI crossarms deliver proven field performance with the longest
fiberglass track record to prove it. You’ll see fewer replacements over time and less maintenance costs.
From tangents to transmission arms, you can spec PUPI crossarm size and drill configurations to meet
your exact performance requirements. PUPI crossarms are engineered for the unique demands of the utility
industry with three levels of weathering protection and unique features like exclusive TorqueGUARD™
bushings, impact-resistant end caps, and beams sealed with closed-cell foam to prevent moisture
contamination. Because PUPI crossarms are lightweight for easier handling -- it takes less man-hours for your
field crews to install and maintain a PUPI crossarm than a wood crossarm. It all adds up to a better ROI you
can count on year in and year out.

PUPI® Crossarm Design Summary
- PUPI Series 2200, 2000, 2500 and 3000 crossarm beams are 3 5/8” X 4 5/8” to fit standard hardware for wood crossarms.
- PUPI Series 4400 and 4000 crossarm beams are 4.00” X 6.00” with heavy walls and are designed for extra heavy
loading applications.
- PUPI Series 1000 crossarm beams are 2.10” X 4.04” outside dimensions and are suitable for lower cost, lighter
TECHNICAL APPENDIX
weight applications.
- PUPI tangent crossarms and deadend assemblies are offered with all mount hardware attached at our factory for easy,
low cost installation.
- PUPI crossarms can be field drilled through the center line of each major axis when needed.
- PUPI crossarms are attached to wood, steel, fiberglass or other poles consistent with the attachment methods for
wood crossarms.
- PUPI crossarms are completely filled with a high quality, closed cell polyurethane foam. Our process ensures a strong
adhesive bond between the foam and the beam walls so that moisture or other contaminants cannot penetrate the arm or
travel along the foam/fiberglass interface.
- PUPI crossarms are made with high strength polymer endcaps that are bonded to the crossarm ends to fully seal the ends
of the arms.
- PUPI crossarm endcaps include the PUPI logo in bold letters and the date of manufacture.
- PUPI crossarms are offered with our patented fiberglass inserts at all bolt attachment holes to give by far the most
crush-resistant fiberglass crossarms in the world.
- PUPI crossarms withstand over 450 ft-lbs of torque loading applied to high strength 5/8” or 3/4”bolts with no damage to
the crossarms.
- PUPI crossarms have projected field life exceeding 60 years.
