FAQ
What does "irreversible" mean for this compression connector?
Irreversible compression connectors are designed for one-time crimping with a compression tool. Once installed, the connector cannot be removed or reused, ensuring a permanent, low-resistance electrical connection required for grounding and lightning protection systems.
Is this connector suitable for direct burial without additional protection?
The connector is specifically designed for direct burial applications. The pre-filled antioxidant and copper alloy construction provide corrosion resistance. Verify with your local AHJ that installation methods meet NEC Article 250 requirements for grounding electrode conductors.
What compression tool and die should I use?
Use a compression tool and die set specified by the connector manufacturer for #6-2STR conductor range. Proper die selection is critical to achieve the UL-listed performance. Refer to your compression tool manufacturer's chart for equivalent die codes.
