Nsi Industries GL656 Copper Compression Lug 6 Awg

Product Description

The NSI INDUSTRIES GL656 is a 6 AWG copper compression lug designed for secure, low-resistance terminations in electrical distribution and wiring applications. Compression lugs of this type are crimped onto copper conductors using a standard compression tool, creating a gas-tight mechanical bond that resists loosening from vibration and thermal cycling. This lug is suited for use in panel boards, switchgear, load centers, and equipment termination points where a reliable copper-to-copper or copper-to-busbar connection is required. Licensed electricians and electrical contractors are the primary installers of compression lugs in both residential and commercial settings.

The GL656 is intended for use with 6 AWG copper conductors. It fits standard termination applications found in service entrance work, feeder runs, and equipment grounding connections. This lug type is commonly installed wherever a permanent, vibration-resistant crimp termination is preferred over a mechanical set-screw connector. Verify conductor size and barrel dimensions before installation to confirm proper fitment.

Key Features

• Designed for 6 AWG copper conductors
• Compression-style termination creates a gas-tight, vibration-resistant bond
• Suitable for panel boards, switchgear, and equipment terminations
• Copper construction for excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style compression termination lug for use with 6 AWG copper conductors in standard electrical panel and equipment wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation must be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit before beginning any termination work. Use a calibrated compression crimping tool sized for the lug barrel to achieve a proper crimp — never use a set-screw or bolt-type tool as a substitute. Inspect the crimped connection for deformation or conductor pullout before restoring power.
