Consolidated SB6 Split Bolt Connector

Product Description

The CONSOLIDATED SB6 is a split bolt connector used to join and splice electrical conductors in wiring installations. Split bolt connectors provide a secure mechanical connection between two or more conductors without requiring soldering or crimping tools. The SB6 is sized to accommodate conductors in the 6 AWG to 10 AWG range, making it suitable for a range of residential and light commercial wiring applications. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors install this type of fitting during panel feeds, service entrances, and branch circuit splicing work where a reliable, code-compliant mechanical connection is required.

The SB6 is used in electrical wiring applications where conductors must be joined inside junction boxes, pull boxes, or conduit bodies. It is appropriate for both copper and aluminum conductor splicing depending on the specific installation requirements and local code. Typical scenarios include service entrance work, feeder splicing, and general branch circuit connections in residential and light commercial construction or renovation projects.

Key Features

• Split bolt design allows fast, tool-free conductor insertion and mechanical clamping
• Sized for 6 AWG to 10 AWG conductor range
• Suitable for use in junction boxes, pull boxes, and conduit bodies
• Provides a secure mechanical splice without soldering or crimping
• Compatible with standard taping and insulating tape wrap for code-compliant installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and standard split bolt connector for use in residential and light commercial electrical wiring applications requiring 6 AWG to 10 AWG conductor splicing.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC) and applicable local codes. Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker or disconnect and verify the absence of voltage with a meter before beginning any splice work. After securing conductors in the split bolt, wrap the connector fully with self-fusing or vinyl insulating tape to restore and maintain the required insulation rating. Do not overtighten the bolt to the point of damaging conductor strands.
