Clean conductors using company approved
methods and materials.

1) Check package label to make sure that you have selected
the proper connector for your wire sizes being used.
2) Gently unscrew bolt to full open position. 3) Place connector on main conductor where desired
4) Insert tap wire into connector and hold in place. 5) Orientate interface to match with the conductors. Notice

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
6) Slide interface between conductors and into the
connector until it reaches the stop. 7) Use any ¾” socket to drive the bolt until the head breaks
off. Any impact, box, adjustable, speed or socket ratchet
wrenches will work.
8) If using a socket make sure it is full inserted and
engaged. 9) Shear head bolt gives visual confirmation of a correctly
completed connection.
Re-Use Guidelines
Make sure connector is clean
Apply fresh inhibitor
Follow the new bolt replacement instruction sheet
(Bulletin #002)
Connector Products recommends installing a new bolt
before the connector is reused, Although, if a new
bolt is not available at the time the connector can
still be reinstalled by tightening the existing 9/16”
bolt to 11-13 lbs torque.
