    March 22, 2023

    As a worldwide manufacturer of hot line tools and equipment, Hastings designs a range of tools and devices to help line workers do their jobs safely and efficiently, including its universal fuse cups.

    Designed to hold 100- and 200-amp fuse barrels from any manufacturer, the universal cup simplifies fuse barrel captures and makes installation and removal faster and easier.

    The fuse cups are made of fiberglass material to eliminate potential hazards of flashover when handling fuse tubes. The universal fuse cup is manufactured in Hastings’ safety yellow making it easier to see in all light conditions.

    For greater strength, the aluminum prong is sealed and covered with fiberglass-reinforced nylon. Each fuse cup weighs less than 5 ounces.
