We are pleased to announce the addition of a Clear Insulated Multi-Tap line to our UNITAP™ family that is UL Listed to the Wire Connector Standard UL486A-486B and CSA Certified for use with Flexible (Fine Stranded) Conductor. A “disc-pad” screw has been incorporated to prevent damage to the fine strands as the conductor is compressed during installation; eliminating the need for wire ferrules. The connectors are shipped with the “pad” attached to the screw by a thin stem. During installation the pad is sheared from the stem as it makes contact with the conductor and remains stationary as the screw continues to rotate until the recommended installation torque is achieved.
This enhanced line of connectors also contain conductor port and screw port caps that have been improved! The color-coordinated port caps make it easy to identify the maximum conductor size accommodated by the connector. Conductor port caps display the wire range and classes of conductor accepted; while screw port caps show the installation torque information for quick and easy reference during installation.
