Thomas Betts CSP8 Butt Splice Terminal 8 Awg Crimp-on

Product Description

The THOMAS BETTS CSP8 is a crimp-on butt splice terminal designed to join two conductors end-to-end in a single, secure connection. Rated for 8 AWG wire, the terminal features a red color-coded barrel that allows quick visual identification of the correct wire gauge during installation. The overall length measures 1 inch. This type of splice terminal is a standard component in electrical panel work, field wiring, and repair applications across residential, commercial, and industrial environments. Electricians and electrical contractors install these terminals using a calibrated crimping tool to achieve a reliable, low-resistance connection point between wire runs.

The CSP8 is suited for splicing 8 AWG copper conductors in control wiring, motor circuit repairs, and general electrical branch circuit work. The crimp-on design eliminates the need for solder, making installation faster and consistent on the job site. The red color coding follows standard wire gauge identification conventions used across the trade.

Key Features

• Crimp-on connection type for fast, solder-free installation
• Rated for 8 AWG wire gauge
• Red color coding for quick gauge identification at 8 AWG
• Overall length of 1 inch for compact inline splicing
• Suitable for butt-splice connections in branch circuit and control wiring repair

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp-on butt splice terminal for use with 8 AWG conductors in standard electrical wiring and repair applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before making any splice connection. Use a properly calibrated crimping tool sized for 8 AWG terminals to ensure full barrel compression and a secure mechanical and electrical connection. Do not attempt to re-crimp or reuse a terminal once it has been compressed.
