FAQ
What conductor combinations does this connector accept?
The Figure 6 connector accommodates 250-500 MCM on one side and #4 SOL or #2 STR on the opposite side, configured for two continuous parallel conductors.
Is this connector rated for direct burial?
Yes. The connector carries UL 467 listing and is specified for direct burial applications.
What compression tool die is required?
Use the die index specified for Figure 6 connectors matching 250-500 MCM conductor range. Verify die compatibility with your tool manufacturer's chart before installation.
Cross-Reference & Application: 610-23158
| Brand | Series / Part | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Burndy HYGROUND / HYTAP | YG6C-class* | irreversible compression grounding, UL 467, direct burial - supply-house pricing typically 2-3x CT $40.15 |
| 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: fig-6 250-500.
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.
