Designed for use in high-current electrical distribution systems, this compression-style tap connector allows a branch conductor to be tapped off a main run without cutting or interrupting the main conductor. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this type of fitting during service entrance work, feeder runs, and industrial distribution panel connections where dissimilar metal conductors must be joined reliably and in compliance with applicable codes.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for commercial and industrial electrical installations where aluminum main conductors must interface with copper tap conductors, or vice versa. It is commonly used in utility metering, switchgear, load centers, and large feeder assemblies. The parallel tap configuration keeps both conductors in line, reducing installation complexity in congested conduit or enclosure environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRated for 500 KCMIL conductor size on the main run\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAluminum-to-copper (Al-Cu) compatibility prevents galvanic corrosion issues when used as designed\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eParallel tap design allows branch connection without cutting the main conductor\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression termination style provides a secure, low-resistance electrical joint\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSuitable for high-current feeder and service entrance applications\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style compression parallel tap connector for 500 KCMIL aluminum and copper conductors in commercial and industrial electrical distribution systems.

De-energize and lock out the circuit before installing any compression connector. Use only the manufacturer-specified compression tool and die to achieve a proper crimp. Inspect conductor ends for nicks or corrosion before insertion, and apply appropriate oxide inhibitor compound when joining aluminum conductors.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConductor Compatibility\u003c\/strong\u003e: Aluminum and Copper (Al-Cu)\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMain Conductor Size\u003c\/strong\u003e: 500 KCMIL\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Parallel Tap, Compression\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUPC\u003c\/strong\u003e: 78181062362\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: BURNDY\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: KPU34A26AC\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"BURNDY","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51383438115122,"sku":"KPU34A26AC","price":78.12,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/312676166.jpg?v=1782596594","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/burndy-kpu34a26ac-500-kcmil-al-cu-parallel-tap-connector","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
