This type of fitting is a staple in electrical distribution work, allowing a branch conductor to be tapped off a continuous main conductor using a hydraulic or mechanical compression tool. The result is a gas-tight, vibration-resistant joint suited for use in panel work, service entrance applications, and feeder runs where a reliable tap is required.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCopper compression C-taps are used by licensed electricians in both residential and commercial electrical installations. They are commonly found in load center work, meter socket installations, and service lateral connections where a branch tap must be made off a main feeder conductor. The connector accepts the conductor on both the run and tap sides, with the compression process permanently securing the joint without solder or additional hardware.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCopper construction provides excellent conductivity and corrosion resistance for direct conductor-to-conductor connections\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompression-style termination creates a gas-tight, vibration-resistant mechanical bond\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eC-tap geometry allows tapping a branch conductor off a continuous main run without cutting the main\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-unit packaging allows precise quantity ordering for job-specific needs\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style compression C-tap connector for copper conductor applications in residential and commercial electrical systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any connections. Use only a calibrated compression tool rated for the connector size to ensure a proper gas-tight crimp. Do not use pliers or non-rated tools as a substitute for the correct compression die set.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConnection Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Compression C-Tap\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUnit of Measure\u003c\/strong\u003e: Each\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eQuantity Per Unit\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eStandard Information\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBrand\u003c\/strong\u003e: PANDUIT\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: CTAPF3-12-C\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"PANDUIT","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51559799587122,"sku":"CTAPF3-12-C","price":24.1,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/26dcb1d8fa501e13fd21d202e04e5303.jpg?v=1786441451","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/panduit-ctapf3-12-c-copper-compression-c-tap","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
