FAQS Is ductile iron a brittle material? No. Unlike cast iron, ductile iron is a pliable material. This is because of ductile iron’s carbon structure. Elements are added during the melting process that transform the flaky carbon structure of cast iron into a spherical, or ductile, structure. This nodular carbon orientation gives it ductility and strength while maintaining the corrosion resistance of cast iron. When you say ductile iron poles are environmentally friendly, what does that really mean? McWane Poles are made of 96% recycled cars, appliances, and other metals. And at the end of a ductile iron pole’s service life, a pole can actually be melted down and produce another pole from the same material. McWane Poles are 100% recyclable. Do you need special equipment for installation? Ductile iron poles weigh approximately 25 percent less than Southern Yellow Pine and are similar weight to Douglas Firm, so the same equipment used on wood can be used for ductile iron. Two-piece poles require a jacking kit for field assembly. Can you provide the poles in sections to allow field assembly? Yes. In most cases, we are shipping fully assembled poles up to 70’. We press fit the joints in a 50-ton press and pin them. We offer poles 70’ and less in two pieces as an option. What is the end of life salvage value anticipated to be? Salvage value will be determined by future market scrap values. Do you have RUS approval? RUS does not approve any utility poles regardless of material. However, RUS requires that the funding application list materials to be used with the funds requested. Therefore, all poles, regardless of materials, are to be specified in the paperwork to be filed. McWane Poles have been purchased in many instances using RUS funds. How does the strength compare to wood? We have designed our poles to the equivalent of wood pole in grade “B” construction. As an advantage our poles are engineered with predictable minimum strength and dimensional consistency. How will ductile iron poles behave on impact - like wood, steel, cast iron? Results will vary depending on the size and speed of the vehicle. Generally, ductile iron poles will react to impacts similar to wood. What type of ground line protection do you provide? McWane has manufactured iron pipe since 1921 and ductile iron pipe since the 1950s, so we have extensive knowledge of underground ductile iron protection. For maximum protection, McWane Poles uses a ceramic epoxy as the embed coating. We coat the pole embed, inside and out, to one foot above the ground line. Do you galvanize ductile iron poles? No. Due to the silicate content of ductile iron, dipped galvanizing does not adhere well. However, McWane gains similar protection with arc-applied zinc. This is a process of electrically melting zinc wire and applying it to the pole. On top of the zinc coating, we apply an acrylic top coat for a premium appearance.

Do I need special hardware to mount equipment to ductile iron poles? No, the hardware you currently use with wood and steel will work with McWane Poles. In some cases, a separate gain may be preferred when using wood cross arms. These are available from various parts suppliers. Do you pre-drill holes? Yes, we include up to 20 through-hole penetrations in the price of the pole, and we will drill to your specifications if more holes are required for a nominal charge. Can ductile iron poles be drilled in the field? Yes, ductile iron poles are very easy to field drill. We recommend a carbide-tipped hole saw bit for the best results. What coating do you offer? We offer two finish options. First, we offer a Natural Finish pole, which is bare iron and looks similar to a wood pole finish. Due to the inherent corrosion resistance of ductile iron, our Natural Finish poles last longer than weathering steel. Our second finish option is an arc applied-zinc base coat with an acrylic gray top coat. This coating process is commonly used in the water industry for valves and pipe. Brown and black acrylic top-coat are also available. If we chose the Weathered Finish will the poles slowly rust away? Bare ductile iron will not slowly rust away and will last longer than weathering steel. Ductile iron, or any other metal product, is most exposed for material degradation at the ground line and below grade. For maximum embed protection, McWane Poles uses a ceramic epoxy coating that was patented in 1979 especially for corrosive environments. Are ductile iron poles less flexible than steel poles, making them less compatible with guys? No. Will joints require a bonding jumper to guarantee electrical grounding of the pole? No jumper is required. We retained a third party engineering firm for conductivity testing, and our poles achieved 2,000 micro-ohms impedance. This is similar to No. 4 copper. Can ductile iron poles be welded? Baseplates and ductile iron caps are welded, but structural welding on ductile iron is not advised because it can reduce the material strength due to the uncontrolled heat source. Can ductile iron poles be rolled off a truck or pole trailer? Dropping poles is never recommended. How are ductile iron poles climbed in non-truck accessible areas? Pole steps are available from many suppliers. Poles can be pre-drilled to accommodate a future step installation. Sales Manual • 2021 163
