Tap Connectors

CPI ALUMINUM TAP CONNECTORS consist of a spring “C”-Body & wedge combined with a “shear-head” bolt. Offering a High Performance permanent connection that is Low Resistance, Durable and Easy to Install. The spring body of the connector will flex and maintain a constant force as thermal cycling causes conductors to expand and contract.

During installation, when proper spring tension is achieved, the Shear Head Bolt will break off giving the installer a positive indication of a correctly completed connection.

After years of successful installations, the CPI wedge design has become the only leading wedge system that can be installed without specialized tooling, providing a safe and easy installation that reduces or eliminates tooling inventory, maintenance and repair expense.

Utilizes the industry-proven Wedge Connecting principle and is quick and easy
to apply with a common socket or impact wrench. NO SPECIAL TOOLS
The “Spring-Like” qualities of the C-Body ensure permanent connection and maintains consistent pressure on the conductors.
Installation time is quicker than conventional crimp-type or molded joints.
Easily adaptable to standard hot-stick tools.
High-conductivity grit type corrosion inhibitor is factory applied for ease of installation and longevity while the connector is in service.
Meets or exceeds the current carrying capacity of the conductors being connected.
Easy to remove and re-use without damaging the conductor.
Recommended for use in critical high load areas and on overloaded circuits, as well as
everyday applications.
Remains permanently locked through fault current or power surges.
May be used in non-corrosive environments to connect copper conductors.
Excellent option for emergency restoration where outside crews might not have shooton or compression tooling.
