Every fuse operation carries risk. Whether crews are performing routine maintenance or restoring service after an outage, having the right tools is critical for improving job site safety. Working around energized equipment requires enhanced control and increased visibility. Designed with utility workers in mind, Hastings' 10-094 Universal Fuse Cup is a dependable tool for capturing, removing, and installing fuse barrels.

Simplified Design Improves Efficiency

Compatible with both 100- and 200-amp fuse barrels from any manufacturer, the Universal Fuse Cup simplifies one of the most common maintenance tasks performed on distribution systems. It's designed to easily attach to Hastings' universal sticks, helping crews work efficiently in the field and swap out tools with ease. When paired with Hastings' Universal Quick-Change Head, crews can swap tools with the push of a button, minimizing downtime on the job.

Fuse replacement can be challenging, particularly when working at increased heights or in poor weather conditions. Hastings' Universal Fuse Cup streamlines the process by securely capturing the fuse barrel during removal and installation. With reliable means of engaging the fuse barrel, the tool reduces the difficulty of manipulating fuse tubes using a standard hot stick attachment. The result is smooth operation, allowing lineworkers to stay focused on the task at hand.

Industry-Leading Materials for Demanding Environments

Safety is at the core of every product that Hastings manufactures, and the Universal Fuse Cup is no exception. The tool is manufactured from industry-leading fiberglass to eliminate potential hazards of flashover during fuse tube removal and installation. By utilizing non-conductive materials, Hastings' Universal Fuse Cup supports safe work practices and provides an additional layer of protection for lineworkers operating around energized equipment.

The Universal Fuse Cup's aluminum prong is sealed and covered with fiberglass-reinforced nylon. This design protects critical components while delivering the strength required for repeated use in harsh environments.

The combination of fiberglass, reinforced nylon, and sealed aluminum components creates a lightweight yet durable tool capable of standing up to the rigors of utility work. Weighing 0.3 pounds, the Universal Fuse Cup delivers reliable performance without adding excess weight to a lineworker's tool belt.

Visibility plays an important role in safety and efficiency in the field, which is why the Universal Fuse Cup is manufactured in Hastings' signature "Safety Yellow." The bright finish ensures high visibility in all light and weather conditions, helping the user maintain control of tool positioning during operation.

The design reflects Hastings' long-standing commitment to developing products that prioritize lineworker safety around the world.
