Fig 6 Type Irreversible Compression Connectors are parallel conductor splices engineered for joining two continuous conductors in medium-to-large gauge applications. Designed for direct burial installations, these connectors serve underground distribution, utility, and lightning protection systems where permanent, maintenance-free connections are required. The compact form factor allows straightforward taping after compression, reducing installation time in confined spaces.

FAQ
Can this connector be used for both 250-500 MCM and 1/0-2/0 AWG?
Yes. The Fig 6 connector accommodates either conductor range through the same die set, providing flexibility for inventory stocking across multiple job requirements.
Is a specific compression tool required?
Install with industry-standard compression tools and dies sized for the conductor range. Verify proper die selection to achieve listed electrical and mechanical performance.
Does UL 96 listing apply to all installations?
UL 96 certification specifically covers lightning protection system applications. UL 467 covers general grounding and bonding. Both listings are present; specify the appropriate standard based on application code requirements.
