FAQ
What does "4 - 250 MCM" conductor range mean for installation?
This connector accepts copper conductors from 4 AWG through 250 MCM. The compression die and barrel are engineered to accommodate this full range with proper tooling. Verify your conductor size falls within this range before ordering.
Is this connector suitable for direct burial without additional protection?
Yes. The connector is rated for direct burial and is pre-filled with anti-oxidant compound to prevent oxidation at the connection point. The high-strength copper alloy construction provides durability in underground environments.
What is the difference between UL 467 and UL 96 listings?
UL 467 covers grounding and bonding equipment for general electrical installations. UL 96 specifically certifies the connector for lightning protection systems. Both listings are present on this product, making it suitable for standard grounding applications as well as lightning protection installations.
