The Figure 6 Type Irreversible Compression Connector is a dual-rated grounding and bonding fitting designed for high-current applications. Engineered for two continuous parallel conductors, this connector joins 250-500 MCM main conductors with #4 SOL to #2 STR tap conductors. The compact form factor accommodates standard taping methods without excessive bulk. Common applications include substation grounding grids, commercial service entrances, and lightning protection systems where permanent, maintenance-free connections are required.

FAQ
Can this connector be used for direct burial without additional protection?
Yes. The connector is specifically designed and rated for direct burial applications. The copper alloy construction and pre-filled anti-oxidant compound provide corrosion resistance for underground installations.
What tooling is required for installation?
Installation requires industry-standard compression tools and dies sized for 250-500 MCM connectors. The irreversible design requires proper die selection to achieve the specified compression profile; consult your compression tool manufacturer's die chart for Figure 6 equivalent connectors.
Is this suitable for lightning protection systems?
Yes. The UL 96 listing specifically covers lightning protection system applications. The connector maintains grounding continuity between air terminals, conductors, and grounding electrodes per NFPA 780 requirements.
