Nsi Industries GL256 Compression Lug 2 Awg Copper

Product Description

The NSI INDUSTRIES GL256 is a copper compression lug designed for terminating 2 AWG copper conductors in electrical distribution and grounding applications. Compression lugs create a cold-weld connection between the conductor and the lug barrel when properly crimped, producing a low-resistance, gas-tight joint that resists vibration and oxidation over time. This type of termination is standard in panelboards, switchgear, transformers, and service entrance equipment. Installation is typically performed by licensed electricians working on commercial and residential electrical systems.

The GL256 is suited for use in applications requiring reliable copper-to-copper terminations at 2 AWG conductor size. Compression-style lugs of this type are commonly installed in service panels, junction boxes, and equipment grounding connections where a permanent, code-compliant crimp termination is required. The lug accepts a standard compression die set sized for the 2 AWG range.

Key Features

• Copper construction for high conductivity and corrosion resistance in copper conductor applications
• Compression-style barrel creates a gas-tight, low-resistance bond when crimped
• Sized for 2 AWG conductors
• Compatible with standard hydraulic or ratchet compression crimp tools using the appropriate die

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression termination lug for 2 AWG copper conductors in residential and commercial electrical installations.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before terminating any conductors. Use a calibrated compression crimp tool with the correct die for 2 AWG to ensure a proper cold-weld crimp. Inspect the completed crimp for uniform compression before restoring power.
