Umbrella Dielectric with 72 inch Fiberglass Pole (70352)

DESCRIPTION

Whether working in a bucket, or on the ground, GMP umbrellas provide shelter from the sun. GMP offers a choice of rugged umbrellas, and a complete line of accessories for maximum mounting and angle adjustment flexibility

Our Dielectric Umbrella, which is rated to 40kV per ASTM D-149 to help reduce the potential of electrical shock when working near power conductors.

• A tough plastic 68 in. (173cm) diameter umbrella cover is colored safety yellow on top 

• A reflective white underside cuts down on the interior heat absorption and is vinyl-coated; nylon rib-end pockets keep the frame from tearing the cover

• Self-sealing waterproofed, waxed stitching, and improved construction using a nylon sleeve and rib retainers for attaching the frame’s six (6) collapsible fiberglass ribs

• The ribs connect at a ring-type lock that slides along the pole to open and close the umbrella. To lock the ring when open, just slide it over the set pin in the pole and rotate it.

• The 43 in. (109cm) long wooden upper pole has a male ferrule so you can attach the 29 in. (74cm) long wooden lower pole for a full height of 6 ft. (1.83M)
• Use the Dielectric Umbrella when working near power conductors to help reduce potential sources of electrical shock (see O.S.H.A. statement below)
