The Allied Bolt Galvanized Steel U-Guard (vendor part 9004-48, Millennium part 528994) is a 14-gauge, 4 in x 8 ft flanged guard that protects riser cable on utility poles in high-traffic areas from impact and tampering. The flanged design mounts straight to the pole with 1/4 in lag screws, skipping the extra strap hardware other guards require. Hot-dip galvanizing to ASTM A153 keeps it rust-resistant through years of outdoor exposure at pedestrian pole locations. Millennium pairs it with matching lag screws, U-Guard clamps and polyethylene guards for lighter-duty runs on the same job.
