Volt Safety | HV Insulated Telescopic Hot Stick 7.8m | 100kV Triangular Section
The Volt Safety STICK-VS-07.80-HM-K is a 7.8 metre HV insulated telescopic hot stick rated to 100kV for overhead electrical work. The STICK-VS-07.80-HM-K uses triangular-profile sections that slide together and lock, and ships with a universal sunrise head, disconnect hook, and fuse puller attachments. The hot stick complies with ASTM F711, ASTM F1825, ASTM F1826, and IEC 60855. The triangular-shaped hot sticks are designed to provide the working distance and insulation required to perform routine jobs on overhead electrical systems. The unit comprises several sticks that slide into each other with integrated locking buttons.</p>
Working on energised overhead systems means keeping a safe distance from live conductors while still reaching the fuse, link, or disconnect that needs attention. Round hot sticks can rotate in the hand at full extension, which makes precise work harder. The STICK-VS-07.80-HM-K uses a triangular section that holds its orientation, with foam-filled tips and a 100kV insulation rating for the reach the task demands.
Between jobs, the hot stick collapses to a compact transport length, then extends only the sections the task requires. The universal sunrise head swaps between the supplied disconnect hook, fuse puller, and other universal attachments, so a single stick covers service-fuse work, link pulling, and reach jobs. Any damaged section can be replaced individually, which keeps a serviceable stick in the kit instead of replacing the whole unit. Height markings on each section let an operator gauge the working length at a glance.
Features
- Triangular section profile — the three-sided design resists the rotation found in round hot sticks while keeping the same working strength.
- Telescopic locking sections — only the number of sections the job needs are extended, with integrated locking buttons holding each joint on the STICK-VS-07.80-HM-K.
- 100kV insulation rating — the hot stick is rated to 100kV for high-voltage work at a maintained distance from live conductors.
- Foam-filled tips — the section tips are foam filled for added integrity at the working end.
- Standards compliant — built to ASTM F711, ASTM F1825, ASTM F1826, and IEC 60855 for insulating live-line tools.
- Universal sunrise head — a universal alloy fitting accepts the range of universal sunrise attachments and test tools available for telescopic sticks.
- Disconnect hook and fuse puller — supplied attachments let the STICK-VS-07.80-HM-K pull service fuses and operate disconnects from the ground.
- Height markings — each section carries a height measurement so the operator can gauge extension and working length.
- Replaceable sections — any section can be replaced individually if it is damaged, rather than scrapping the whole stick.
- Protective carry bag — the stick is supplied in a carry bag for transport and storage between jobs.
- Colour varies by batch — the stick and bag colour is not fixed and ranges across yellow, green, black, and orange depending on supplier batch, so colour cannot be selected.
Where to use
- Overhead service work — operating and isolating gear on overhead service lines with the STICK-VS-07.80-HM-K from a maintained working distance.
- Service fuse pulling — pulling and replacing service and consumer-mains fuses at height with the fuse puller attachment.
- Disconnect and link operation — opening and closing disconnects and links on elevated, energised equipment.
- Pole-top and elevated gear — reaching pole-top equipment from the ground using the STICK-VS-07.80-HM-K at the length the job needs.
- Switchyard and substation tasks — operating switches and placing tools at a safe distance in switching environments.
- Elevated testing — fitting compatible test or proximity equipment to the universal head for measurements out of arm's reach.
- Emergency isolation — reaching to isolate or operate gear where direct, hands-on access would be unsafe.
The STICK-VS-07.80-HM-K is rated to 100kV and is not intended for work above that voltage rating. The colour of the stick and carry bag is not fixed and varies between yellow, green, black, and orange depending on the supplier batch, so a specific colour cannot be guaranteed at order.
