Sorry I don’t have a picture at the moment, but what is name for the ceramic/porcelain “knob” that is attached to the side of houses to hold the service drop in place when there is no mast? My brain is drawing a blank.

Insulator?

It’s called a…ceramic/porcelain “knob”

I have always heard them called nail-knob insulators.

Agree, Insulator.

Shucks, I liked ceramic/porcelain “knob”

Heh Heh Heh…Jae said “KNOB” :mrgreen:

Thanks folks! I think I’ll go with insulator, (even if Jae did like ceramic/porcelain “knob” ).

I changed my mind — “I have always heard them called nail-knob insulators”
—I like Carolyn’s phrase better, now…

After thinking about it…I like** Carolyn** better. Period…

“Point Of Attachment” sometimes works.

Or this case: ceramic/porcelain “knob” Point of Attachment.
