Abstract
An upper tube member for a cutout door of a power line connection includes a cylindrical body configured to receive one end of an insulating tube. A first flange extends in a first radial direction outwardly from the cylindrical body. A pull ring is connected to the first flange, defines a continuous ring opening, and extends in the first radial direction outwardly from the first flange. A second flange extends a predetermined distance in a second radial direction, opposite to the first radial direction, from an opposite side of the cylindrical body and is configured to engage a hook end of a lineman's pole.
