The support component of a sidewalk strut guy fitting is the ground-side anchor of a rigid sidewalk guying assembly. While the strut fitting at the pole receives the strut and wraps the pole, this support component bolts into the sidewalk, curb, or ground anchor and receives the lower end of the strut, completing the compression load path that stabilizes the pole. Together the two castings form a matched pair: the pole-side fitting holds the strut at the designed angle, and this support component locks the strut's lower end against uplift, rotation, and lateral movement, so the whole assembly behaves as a predictable structural brace.
Because the support component works at ground level, its service environment is the harshest part of the assembly: standing water, de-icing salts, snow plow impact, and occasional vehicle contact. We therefore cast it in ductile iron per ASTM A536 (Grade 65-45-12 or higher), which offers the toughness to absorb impact without brittle fracture, and finish it with hot-dip galvanizing per ASTM A153. Typical geometry includes a base with anchor bolt holes for the sidewalk or curb, a socket or clevis interface for the strut end, and ribs that stiffen the base against the bending moment produced by the angled strut. Sand casting allows us to match the socket to your exact strut end and the base holes to your anchor layout.

| Weight Range | 2.0–6.0 kg per piece |
| Casting Process | Green sand casting, machined socket and base faces |
The support component is installed after the pole-side fitting and before final strut engagement: mark the strut line on the sidewalk, drill or set the anchor bolts per the base pattern, bolt down the support component, then insert and secure the strut end. Crews should set the base on sound concrete or a poured pad—anchoring into cracked or thin sidewalk panels reduces the assembly's capacity, and many utilities specify a small concrete footing under the component for exactly this reason. Check that the strut enters the socket squarely and that the locking bolt or pin is fully engaged before the pole is tensioned.
In service, this is the component that takes the punishment: plow blades, street sweeping, salt spray. We recommend periodic inspection of the anchor bolts and galvanizing at the base, and we can supply replacement components matched to struts already in the ground—send a sample of the worn fitting and we will reproduce the interface. The assembly pairs with pole-side hardware such as guy hooks and narrow profile eye plates when the same pole carries additional guy leads.
As a casting factory, we manufacture the support component from drawings or samples with full control of the pattern: base plate size, anchor hole count and spacing, socket diameter and depth, and stiffening rib layout are all configurable. Common custom requests include a low-profile base for sidewalk flush mounting and an extended socket for heavier struts. Reverse-engineering service, first-article inspection, and material certificates are included in the sampling process, typically 2–4 weeks.
Each lot is checked for: dimensional conformance to the approved drawing (socket fit and base flatness are key checks); mechanical properties of companion cast bars per ASTM A536; hot-dip galvanizing thickness; and 100% visual inspection for casting defects. Export packaging uses cartons on pallets, 25–50 kg per carton, moisture-proofed, with customer labeling and packing lists.
1. Can this component be used without the pole-side sidewalk strut fitting?
No—it is designed as the ground-side half of the matched pair; the pole-side fitting completes the assembly and guarantees interface alignment.
2. How is it anchored to the sidewalk?
Through 2–4 anchor bolt holes in the base, set into the concrete or a poured footing; anchor bolt size and spacing follow your drawing.
3. Can you match a strut system we already have in the field?
Yes—send a sample of the existing fitting or the strut end dimensions and we will cast the socket to match.
