Bird Flight Diverter Video A.P. - Hand Application

The BIRD-FLIGHT™ Diverter is designed to make overhead lines and guyed structures visible to birds and provides an economical means of reducing the hazard to both lines and birds. The BIRD-FLIGHT™ Diverter is lightweight, offers little wind resistance and is easily and quickly applied by hand. The positive grip of the fitting on the cable ensures that it remains in the applied position and cannot move along the span under aeolian vibration or other conditions.
Visibility
The diverter section increases the visible profile of the cable and is designed to ensure safety, but avoid an undesirably bulky outline. Material Manufactured from rigid high impact PVC, the BIRD-FLIGHT™ Diverter possesses excellent chemical and strength properties and will retain good physical characteristics within a range of extreme temperatures. The performance of the BIRD FLIGHT™ Diverter is not deteriorated in severe weather conditions. Industrial fumes and salt water cannot seriously degrade the properties of rigid PVC.
Product Characteristics
BIRD-FLIGHT™ Diverters are designed to offer the following advantages:
• Increased conductor/strand profile to provide enhanced visibility where bird flight paths are present
• Economical and easily applied
• Lightweight
• Long service life without deterioration of material properties
• Minimal wind resistance
• Manufactured from gray or yellow high impact PVC with UV protection
Application Notes
Ensure the correct size BIRD-FLIGHT™ Diverter is used. For a detailed installation description, refer to the application procedure SP2805.
Spacing
For optimum results the recommended spacing distances are 15 foot intervals depending upon local conditions. Since wind resistance is limited, more BIRD-FLIGHT™ Diverters can be used to ensure adequate visibility without creating stresses on the line.
