Hex Head Copper Split Bolt Connector 6 AWG 5 Pack OHLECTRIC UL Listed

Description

Product Overview

The OHLECTRIC Hex Head Copper Split Bolt Connector is engineered to meet the demanding requirements of modern electrical installations. Constructed from premium electrolytic copper alloy, the connector offers exceptional electrical conductivity, ensuring minimal voltage drop even under heavy load conditions. The polished, corrosion‑resistant finish protects the copper from oxidation, extending the service life of the connection and reducing maintenance intervals. Each connector is UL listed, confirming compliance with rigorous safety standards for 600 V operation and temperatures up to 194 °F (90 °C). The heavy‑duty hex head design provides a secure, torque‑controlled fit with a rating of 165 in‑lb, allowing technicians to achieve a consistent clamping force that prevents loosening over time. The compact dimensions—0.492″ × 0.165″ × 0.625″ × 0.906″—enable installation in tight conduit boxes and enclosures without sacrificing performance. Packaged in a convenient 5‑piece set, the product delivers cost‑effective redundancy for projects that require multiple grounding points or spare parts for future maintenance.

Usage

This split‑bolt connector is ideal for a wide range of grounding, bonding, and direct‑burial applications. In residential settings, it can be used to ground service panels, water pipes, and outdoor lighting circuits, providing a reliable path for fault currents and lightning protection. Commercial and industrial installations benefit from the connector’s ability to handle larger conductor sizes, making it suitable for grounding transformer windings, motor control centers, and heavy‑duty equipment chassis. The connector’s UL‑listed rating for direct burial allows it to be placed underground without additional protective conduit, simplifying trenching work and reducing overall project costs. Its reusable design means that electricians can tighten, inspect, and re‑tighten the connection as needed, which is especially valuable in environments where periodic maintenance is required. The connector also performs well in harsh environments, such as outdoor utility poles, oil and gas facilities, and marine applications, where exposure to moisture, chemicals, and temperature fluctuations can challenge lesser‑quality components.

Why Choose Us

Choosing the OHLECTRIC Hex Head Copper Split Bolt Connector means selecting a product that combines superior material quality with thoughtful engineering. The high‑conductivity copper core ensures that the connector can handle the full rated current of 6 AWG conductors without overheating, while the corrosion‑resistant coating guards against the effects of humidity and salt exposure. Our rigorous UL testing process validates each batch for voltage, temperature, and mechanical endurance, giving you confidence that the connector will perform reliably throughout its service life. The hex head design reduces installation time by allowing a single wrench to achieve the precise torque needed for a secure connection, which translates into lower labor costs on site. Additionally, the connector’s reusable nature reduces waste and supports sustainable practices, as you can adjust or replace connections without discarding the component. OHLECTRIC stands behind its products with responsive technical support and a clear warranty policy, ensuring that any questions or concerns are addressed promptly by knowledgeable professionals.

FAQ

What size conductors can this connector accommodate?

The connector is specifically rated for 6 AWG copper conductors. It is not recommended for larger or smaller gauges, as using the wrong size can affect the clamping force and electrical performance.

Is this connector suitable for direct burial without additional conduit?

Yes. The connector is UL listed for direct burial applications, allowing it to be installed underground without the need for extra protective conduit, provided the installation follows local code requirements.

Can the connector be reused after removal?

Absolutely. The heavy‑duty hex head design is engineered for multiple tighten‑loosen cycles. After removal, simply clean the contact surfaces and re‑install to achieve the same torque rating.

What is the torque specification for proper installation?

The recommended torque is 165 in‑lb. Using a calibrated torque wrench ensures the connector is tightened to the correct specification, preventing over‑tightening or under‑tightening that could lead to connection failure.

How does the corrosion‑resistant finish benefit long‑term performance?

The finish creates a protective barrier that resists oxidation and chemical attack, especially in outdoor or marine environments. This barrier helps maintain a low‑resistance connection over the product’s lifespan, reducing the need for frequent inspections or replacements.
