00:05Bernie's new line of insulating piercing connectors cover a wider conductor range and

00:10now include a sheer bolt for quick and easy installation.

00:14The wire range has been expanded to accommodate a run from number eight A WG to 750 KC

00:20mil and a tap from number 14 A WG to 500 KCM.

00:25A simple wrench or impact driver with appropriately sized socket is all that is

00:30required to install these tapping and splicing connectors.

00:33Each connector is range taking, they are cul us listed and are A L nine CU rated for use

00:40with copper and aluminum conductor because they utilize insulation piercing technology,

00:46stripping insulation from conductor is not required and tapping applications can be

00:51completed without cutting the run conductor. Each B I PC connector is supplied with two end

00:56caps. The end caps can be placed on the tap or run on

01:00either side of the connector to allow for splicing and dead end applications or can be

01:04removed for tapping applications.

01:07All end caps contain an internal rubber seal that produces a watertight seal.

01:12The end of the conductor should be inserted fully into the rubber seal during splicing and

01:18dead end applications should be inserted fully into the rubber seal.

01:21During installation, the open side of the connector is for the run conductor in tapping

01:26applications. While the side containing the product

01:29information is for the tap conductor.

01:32The top of the connector contains a shear bolt for easy installation,

01:36the uppermost hex is used to tighten the connector during installation,

01:40the wrench or socket size required for installation is inscribed in the base of the

01:45bolt. The large hex beneath the tightening hex can be

01:48used to remove the connector from the conductor if needed.

01:53There is a red turbo spacer located on the inside of the tap side.

01:57This spacer is used to hold the connector open to assist with the installation of the tap or

02:02splicing conductor. The spacer will snap off during installation to

02:06allow the insulating teeth to pierce through the tap or spice conductor insulation

02:12begin by removing or relocating the end caps to their desired location.

02:21Place the connector over the run conductor and hand tighten the installation bolt measure the

02:28tap conductor so that it will be fully inserted into the end cap seal.

02:32Insert the end of the connector into the tap side opening until it is fully seated using a

02:38wrench or impact driver and socket, tighten the bolt until it shears off if needed.

02:44The connector can be removed from the conductor by reversing the bolt using the remaining hex.
