Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or licensed HVAC technician in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. De-energize the circuit completely before crimping or installing any wire terminal. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for insulated disconnects to ensure a secure, gas-tight crimp on 12-10 AWG conductors. Do not solder over the crimped connection, as this can cause brittleness and terminal failure under vibration.
