The catalog number used to order a Lineman s Body Belt is made up of specific parts. Each part of the number refers to a component or component size. The following is a typical example of a catalog number: 5278N-24D
Use the following ordering procedure to properly identify and select each component in order to create a catalog number for your Lineman s Body Belt.
Size your body belt using a tape measure. To obtain the correct D-to-D (D-ring to D-ring) size, measure around the back from hipbone to hipbone and then add 2 (51 mm).
1. Know the job and regulations governing performance requirements for the equipment needed.
2. Select the belt style. Klein lineman s body belts are available in a choice of full-floating, semi-floating, and fixed styles, and feature the choice of belt pad size. All Klein lineman s body belts have chrome-tanned leather cushions for greater comfort. Full-floating belts allow lateral movement of the D-rings during use. Semi-floating and fixed-style belts allow no lateral movement of the D-rings.
3. Select the proper belt size. The comfort of a lineman s belt depends on the construction of the belt and the location of the D-rings. The D-rings should be located about 1 (25 mm) in front of the hip bones.
Never order Klein lineman s body belts by waist size. Always order Klein lineman s body belts by the desired distance between D-rings.
The Lineman s Belt Sizing Table (shown below) contains more information on selecting the proper belt size.
** All measurements are listed in inches and (cm). This table shows the maximum and minimum lengths and center-hole distances for the full range of standard D-to-D measurements. A belt sized for the proper D-to-D size will fit correctly with buckle tongue engaged in the center hole.
** Non-standard D-to-D sizes can be special ordered
