CT 610-23160 — UL 467 irreversible compression figure-6 tap connector joining a 250–500 MCM run conductor to a 350–500 MCM copper tap — the heavy end of the line, for full-size grid-to-grid junctions. Listed for direct burial and concrete encasement. Direct cross for Burndy HYGROUND HYTAP™ YGHP34C34 — same 12-ton tool platform, same die.

Cross-reference
| Manufacturer | Part No. | Covers | Die index |
|---|---|---|---|
| Burndy HYGROUND | YGHP34C34 | 250–500 kcmil run or 5/8"–3/4" rod; 350–500 kcmil tap | 1011 (U1011), 3 crimps |
Cross-references identify equivalent function and conductor/rod range; verify die selection against the index stamped on the connector.
Where it's used
- Grid-to-grid junctions where both conductors run 350–500 MCM — substation mats, generation sites, transmission grounds
- Buried and concrete-encased junctions — no access box required (NEC 250.68(A) Exception)
- High-fault-current paths specifying IEEE 837-class permanent connections
How to install
Wire-brush both conductors to bright metal, slide the run through the run bore, insert the tap fully so it shows past the barrel, and crimp with the stamped die index until the dies fully bottom — center first, working outward.

Why irreversible compression
NEC 250.64(C)(1) permits grounding electrode conductor splices only by irreversible compression or exothermic welding. Compression installs in wet trenches with no hot-work permit, and every crimp embosses its die index for inspection. More: Where, How, and Why to Use Irreversible Compression Grounding.
