Ecm Industries Llc GSBC-8 Copper Split Bolt Connector 8 Awg

Product Description

The ECM INDUSTRIES LLC GSBC-8 is a copper split bolt connector rated for conductors up to 8 AWG solid. Sold in a 2-pack, it provides a reliable mechanical connection for joining electrical conductors in branch circuit and service wiring applications. The connector accepts a wide range of conductor sizes, accommodating 16 to 10 AWG stranded wire and 10 to 8 AWG solid wire in a single fitting. Its copper construction ensures strong conductivity and corrosion resistance. The bolt design is compatible with standard wrenches, so no specialized tooling is required to achieve a secure, code-acceptable connection.

Split bolt connectors of this type are used by licensed electricians in residential and light commercial wiring work. Common applications include splicing branch circuit conductors in junction boxes, connecting service entrance wire, and joining feeder conductors during panel work or retrofit installations. The range of accepted conductor gauges makes the GSBC-8 suitable for both solid and stranded copper wire runs encountered in everyday electrical service work.

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 with a meter before making any connections. Insert conductors fully into the bolt saddle before tightening, and torque with a standard wrench to ensure a secure mechanical and electrical bond. Install in an accessible junction box or enclosure as required by applicable codes.
