Abstract
A metal fitting for a composite electrical insulator (1) including a plastic rod (2), e.g., an FRP rod. The metal fitting (4) includes a radially inwardly deformable sleeve portion having a bore (5) into which an end portion of the rod (1) can be inserted for fixedly securing the metal fitting (4) to the rod (1). The bore (5) in the metal fitting (4) has an inner surface which is formed with fine protrusions (7). These protrusions (7) provide a satisfactory resistivity to the tensile force applied to the insulator (1), to thereby effectively prevent withdrawal of the rod (2) from the metal fitting (4) when it is in use.
