Cross-references identify copper-alloy split bolts of equivalent published range. This plain copper split bolt is for copper conductors; our tin-plated split bolts are AL/CU rated for aluminum and copper conductors. *Pattern-matched; confirm on datasheet.
Where it's used
- 500 kcmil service-entrance and feeder taps in gutters and CT cabinets
- Parallel-run splices and ground bus bonding in switchgear and distribution rooms
- Utility and industrial taps where a 12-ton crimp tool is impractical
How to install
Strip, wire-brush bright, seat the run in the bolt saddle with the tap alongside, hand-run the nut, torque to the marked value, then insulate to the conductor's rating per NEC 110.14(B) (rubber tape + vinyl, or a snap-on split bolt cover). Not permitted for buried or encased grounding electrode conductor splices (NEC 250.64(C)) — use irreversible compression there.
