FRA-GI-LE as Dave puts it. A common setup in southern Ontario. Lots of hardware, less porcelain shown here than in Dave's picture, indicates this is more recent. The most up to date installations are all composite insulators, even the cutouts. Ontario Hydro's mandate, circa 2006, is to be 100% composite - within ten years. In other words, here in Ontario even a lowly brown porcelain insulator is endangered and will be virtually extinct in four years.[id=374554376;Daves pic]
