Technical Specifications
The S4 Copper Split Bolt Connector is a two-conductor mechanical connector used for joining copper conductors in electrical power, grounding, and bonding systems. It is manufactured from a high-strength copper alloy that helps resist corrosion and season cracking, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor installations.
The connector is designed for equal run and tap conductor sizes from 8 AWG to 4 AWG. Its true hex head design allows installation using standard sockets, box wrenches, open-end wrenches, or a torque wrench. When properly tightened, the design creates high contact pressure between conductors to help maintain a secure electrical connection.
Key features:
- High-strength copper alloy construction
- Suitable for electrical power and grounding applications
- Approved for direct burial installations
- Accepts a wide range of copper and copperweld conductors
- Can be used for conductor-to-conductor or conductor-to-rebar connections
- Pressure bar design helps improve conductor retention
- Reusable when installed according to recommended practices
- Rated for 600 V systems and 90°C conductors
Common applications include electrical distribution systems, grounding grids, bonding connections, utility work, direct burial installations, and connections to grounding rebar in concrete structures. The compact design and broad conductor compatibility make it a practical solution for contractors, electricians, and utility professionals.
