Manufactured from copper alloy, the connector accepts 10 to 8 AWG copper wire and delivers a reliable, low-resistance mechanical connection. The split bolt design allows the run wire to pass through while the tap wire is secured beneath the pressure bar, eliminating the need for soldering. With an overall length of 25\/32 inches, a head width of 3\/8 inches, and a base width of 1\/2 inches, it fits into tight junction boxes and conduit enclosures. Licensed electricians and journeymen installers use this fitting in branch circuit and service work.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis connector is suited for residential and light commercial electrical installations where copper-to-copper conductor splices or taps are required. Typical applications include service entrance work, panel feeder taps, junction box connections, and branch circuit extensions. The 10 to 8 AWG range covers common branch circuit conductor sizes used in 15-amp and 20-amp circuits as well as some feeder applications. The copper alloy construction resists corrosion and maintains conductivity over the service life of the connection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAccepts 10 to 8 AWG copper wire for versatile conductor sizing\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCopper alloy body and pressure bar for corrosion resistance and conductivity\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHex split bolt design allows run-and-tap connections without soldering\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCompact overall length of 25\/32 inches fits in tight enclosures\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSingle-piece package suitable for individual repair or service calls\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eCompatibility\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eDesigned as an OEM-style replacement and general-use split bolt connector compatible with 10 to 8 AWG copper conductors in standard residential and commercial electrical wiring systems.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eInstallation Notes\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eInstallation 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 connections. Strip conductors to the appropriate length to seat fully within the connector, then tighten the hex bolt with the proper wrench to achieve firm mechanical contact without cracking the fitting. Wrap the completed connection with listed electrical tape or a listed split bolt cover suitable for the installation environment.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eTechnical Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWire Size Range\u003c\/strong\u003e: 10 to 8 AWG\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCompatible Wire Type\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBody Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePressure Bar Material\u003c\/strong\u003e: Copper Alloy\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOverall Length (OAL)\u003c\/strong\u003e: 25\/32 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHead Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 3\/8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBase Width\u003c\/strong\u003e: 1\/2 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePackage Quantity\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: THOMAS BETTS\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eManufacturer Part Number\u003c\/strong\u003e: 8H\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"THOMAS \u0026 BETTS","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51723213373746,"sku":"8H","price":18.08,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0270\/4519\/9983\/files\/178e7970b10d3e886d7baeaeb0700280.jpg?v=1788602012","url":"https:\/\/voomisupply.com\/products\/thomas-betts-8h-hex-split-bolt-connector-10-8-awg","provider":"Voomi Supply","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
