Southwire 431TBS 1/2 Inch Top Bite Compression Connector

Product Description

The SOUTHWIRE 431TBS is a 1/2 inch top bite compression connector designed for secure, reliable electrical connections in conduit and wiring installations. This fitting uses a compression-style bite mechanism that cinches onto the conductor or conduit without the need for soldering or crimping tools, making it a practical choice for licensed electricians working on commercial and residential wiring projects. The top bite design provides consistent clamping force and a low-profile termination suitable for tight installation spaces. At 22 pounds per package, this product is typically supplied in a contractor-quantity lot.

The 431TBS is suited for electrical distribution and branch-circuit wiring applications where a 1/2 inch compression connector is required. It is commonly installed in conduit systems, junction boxes, and panel terminations by licensed electricians following NEC guidelines. The top bite compression style is a recognized method for achieving a secure mechanical and electrical connection efficiently during both new construction and retrofit work.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any terminations.
