Ecm Industries Llc GSBC-2/0 Copper Split Bolt Connector

Product Description

The ECM INDUSTRIES LLC GSBC-2/0 is a copper split bolt connector rated for a maximum wire size of 2/0 AWG. Split bolt connectors create a mechanical joint between two conductors by clamping them together under a threaded fastener. This connector accepts a wide range of solid wire from 2 AWG up to 2/0 AWG, making it suitable for joining or tapping conductors in power distribution and grounding applications. The hex nut design is compatible with standard wrenches, so no specialized tooling is required. Electricians and low-voltage installers use this type of connector in service entrance work, panel feeders, and grounding electrode conductor runs.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work where copper-to-copper conductor joints are required. Typical applications include main service feeders, grounding conductor connections, and tap joints in conduit or enclosures. The 2/0 AWG maximum capacity covers common feeder and grounding conductor sizes encountered in panel upgrades and service work.

• Compatible with standard wrenches — no special tooling required for installation
• Mechanical split bolt design provides a secure, low-resistance joint between conductors
• Sold individually; packaged 10 per pack

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation split bolt connector for copper conductor joints in residential and commercial electrical systems up to 2/0 AWG.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage before making any conductor connections. Strip conductors to the appropriate length, seat both conductors fully in the bolt saddle, and tighten the nut with a standard wrench to achieve firm mechanical contact. Completed joints in exposed or wet locations should be wrapped with self-fusing or listed electrical tape per applicable code requirements.
