The design allows the connection to be completely sealed against any water ingress, thus acting as a waterproof connector.

Materials:

  • Body: Black High strength engineering-plastic used for the mechanical reliability of the connector.
  • Contact Plates: Tinned Copper or Tinned Copper Alloy or Aluminium or Aluminium Alloy.
  • Fasteners: Galvanised Steel.
  • Shear Nut: Aluminium or Aluminium Zinc Alloy.

Features & Benefits:

  • Complies to National and International Testing Standards (NF C, BSEN, etc.).
  • Tap connection can be taken from either side and grease filled end cap provided for safe termination.
  • Easy and safe installation on live lines thus leading to less downtime during maintenance and installation.
  • Connections are made without stripping the cable ensuring long cable life and preventing loss due to theft.
  • Weather resistant and Waterproof (passes 6 KV underwater test) thus reducing distribution losses & faults.
  • Contact plates allow bimetallic use and are suitable for Aluminium to Aluminium and Aluminium to Copper connections.
  • Accommodation of a range of cable sizes and no losable parts leading to simple inventory management.
  • Simultaneous tightening with shear nut design which prevents loose connections or overtightening.
