The C-Tap Compression Grounding Connector provides a compression-style termination for grounding conductor taps. Designed for electrical contractors and utility grounding applications, this connector joins a main grounding conductor run to a tap conductor using hydraulic or mechanical compression tools. Common installations include equipment grounding, substation grounding grids, and service entrance bonding where reliable low-resistance connections are required.

Cross-Reference
Equivalent to C-Tap grounding connectors offered by major electrical manufacturers. Provides comparable compression termination performance for copper grounding conductors at lower distributor pricing.
FAQ
What compression tool series is required for installation?
The source specifies "appropriate compression tool" without identifying die or tool series. Match your compression tool manufacturer's die chart to the connector size and conductor combination being installed.
Can this connector be used for both solid and stranded conductors?
The source lists compatibility with both solid and stranded conductors for the 1-2/0 AWG range. For the #6-2 AWG range specified in the title, stranded is indicated. Confirm conductor type compatibility before installation.
Cross-Reference & Application: 610-24101
| Brand | Series / Part | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Burndy HYGROUND / HYTAP | YGHC2C2 | irreversible compression grounding, UL 467, direct burial - supply-house pricing typically 2-3x CT $14.85 |
| Panduit StructuredGround | compression grounding series* | match by conductor range |
| nVent ERICO | Cadweld (exothermic alt.) | weld-based alternative - compression installs faster, no powder/mold |
Where & why irreversible compression
NEC 250.64(C) requires grounding electrode conductors to be continuous or joined with irreversible compression connectors or exothermic welding - standard mechanical clamps are not permitted for buried or concealed GEC splices. These UL 467 listed connectors are rated for direct burial in earth or concrete. Range: #6-2 AWG / #6-2 AWG tap.
How to crimp
Single crimp with a 12-ton class dieless or U-die hydraulic tool (Burndy Y35/Y750 class, index per size). CT stocks compatible crimp tools and dies at distributor pricing - the same tool runs our full lug and grounding line.
