PLP Introduces New Video Series: Distribution Tips and Tricks

Nov 14, 2019

Introducing PLP’s new video series Distribution Tips and Tricks. Each episode will include one concept, tip, or piece of information that will help lineworkers, maintenance crews, engineers, and other utility personnel expand their knowledge about the products, systems, techniques, and science that make up the electric power distribution system. Distribution Tips and Tricks is available for viewing on PLP’s website, social media platforms, and YouTube channel.

The first episode features tips on how to properly subset Armor Rods, a fitting start to the series seeing as how the Armor Rod was PLP’s very first product, invented by company founder Thomas Peterson in 1947.

Be sure to follow PLP’s social platforms, subscribe to their YouTube channel, or visit preformed.com regularly to see every new episode of Distribution Tips and Tricks.
