CW- DAB: Double Arming Bolts

The CW-DAB Double Arming Bolt is a fully threaded pole line fastener designed to connect and maintain the spacing between two crossarms in double-arm utility pole construction.

Each bolt is supplied with four square nuts, allowing installers to position and lock the crossarms at the required spacing along the threaded body.

Hbcrownwealth supplies galvanized double arming bolts for power distribution, utility pole construction, telecom infrastructure, distributors, contractors, and pole line hardware projects.

What Is a Double Arming Bolt?

A double arming bolt, also known in the utility industry as a DA Bolt, is a long, fully threaded bolt used when two crossarms need to work together as one structural assembly.

Unlike a standard machine bolt with only a partially threaded section, the continuous thread allows the nuts to be positioned at different points along the bolt.

This makes it possible to adjust and secure the spacing between the two crossarms according to the pole construction design.

Double arming bolts are commonly installed in pairs when the line structure requires a double-crossarm arrangement.

Why Are Four Square Nuts Used?

The four square nuts are one of the defining features of a double arming bolt.

Instead of using only one nut at each end, the four-nut configuration allows installers to position nuts on both sides of the crossarms.

This arrangement helps:

  • Set the spacing between two crossarms
  • Hold the arms in the required position
  • Tighten the complete double-arm assembly
  • Make field adjustment easier during installation
  • Keep both crossarms aligned with the designed structure

For project orders, nut dimensions and thread compatibility should be confirmed together with the bolt specification.

Fully Threaded Design

The CW-DAB uses a fully threaded body rather than a short threaded section.

This gives installers a wider adjustment range and allows the square nuts to be positioned according to the actual crossarm spacing.

The continuous thread is particularly useful when different utilities, pole structures, or crossarm configurations require different mounting positions.

For replacement orders, we recommend confirming both the bolt length and the required nut spacing before production.

Compatible with Eye Nuts

The ends of a double arming bolt can also be used with compatible eye nuts in suitable overhead line assemblies.

This gives the fastener additional flexibility where the pole structure requires an attachment point for dead-end or related pole line hardware.

Because eye nut dimensions and loading requirements vary, you should confirm the complete connection specification before ordering the bolt and eye nut together.

How Double Arming Bolts Are Used

In a typical double-crossarm installation, two bolts are positioned through the crossarms to form a stable assembly.

First, the nuts are positioned along the threaded body according to the required crossarm spacing.

Next, the bolts pass through the corresponding holes in the two crossarms.

The remaining square nuts are then tightened from the opposite sides to lock the complete assembly in position.

Because double arming bolts are normally used as part of a complete crossarm structure, correct hole spacing, bolt diameter, and crossarm dimensions should be confirmed before installation.

Typical Applications

Double Crossarm Assemblies

The main application is to connect two crossarms when an overhead line structure requires a double-arm configuration.

Power Distribution Poles

Double arming bolts are widely used as part of pole line structures for electrical distribution projects.

Dead-End Structures

Where the pole design uses compatible eye nuts or additional line hardware, the threaded ends can form part of the required dead-end connection arrangement.

Angle and High-Load Pole Structures

Double-crossarm construction may be specified where the structure requires additional support compared with a single crossarm arrangement.

Utility and Telecom Infrastructure

Customized sizes can also be evaluated for compatible utility and aerial communication pole assemblies.

How to Select the Correct Double Arming Bolt

Before requesting a quotation, we recommend confirming the complete crossarm structure.

Important specifications include:

  • Bolt diameter
  • Overall bolt length
  • Crossarm thickness
  • Required spacing between crossarms
  • Crossarm hole diameter
  • Square nut size
  • Thread specification
  • Eye nut requirement
  • Surface treatment
  • Quantity

If you already have an existing pole construction drawing, send it together with your inquiry. This allows us to check the bolt dimensions against the crossarm arrangement more accurately.

Why Bolt Length and Crossarm Spacing Matter

For a double arming bolt, overall length alone does not determine whether the product will fit.

The bolt must provide enough threaded length for:

  1. The first crossarm
  2. The space between the crossarms
  3. The second crossarm
  4. Four square nuts
  5. Any required end projection or additional fitting

Therefore, two projects using the same bolt diameter may still require different overall lengths.

Providing the crossarm thickness and spacing is one of the easiest ways to reduce specification errors before production.

Manufacturing and Quality Inspection

A double arming bolt must match both the crossarm holes and the supplied square nuts.

During production, important inspection points can include:

  • Bolt diameter
  • Overall length
  • Thread formation
  • Thread continuity
  • Nut engagement
  • Square nut dimensions
  • Product straightness
  • End condition
  • Surface finish
  • Packaging quantity

For repeat orders, these checks help maintain compatibility with the same crossarm construction.

Custom Double Arming Bolt Manufacturing

Different utilities and markets may use different crossarm dimensions and bolt specifications.

Therefore, Hbcrownwealth supports OEM production based on technical drawings and agreed requirements.

You can customize:

  • Bolt diameter
  • Bolt length
  • Thread specification
  • Square nut size
  • End configuration
  • Material requirement
  • Surface coating
  • Product marking
  • Carton packing
  • Pallet packing

If you are replacing an existing DA bolt, you can also send us a sample or complete dimensional drawing.

Build a Complete Crossarm Hardware Package

Double arming bolts are normally purchased together with other components used in utility pole crossarm construction.

You can combine CW-DAB with:

  • Electrical crossarms
  • Crossarm pins
  • Square washers
  • Eye nuts
  • Machine bolts
  • Crossarm braces
  • Other pole line hardware

This allows distributors and project buyers to source compatible crossarm hardware through one purchasing plan.
