Value Collection BD-39860 Hex Split Bolt Connector 10-16 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-39860 is a hex split bolt connector designed for joining and tapping copper wire in electrical wiring applications. Manufactured from silicon bronze, this connector provides reliable conductivity and corrosion resistance in both indoor and outdoor installations. It accommodates wire sizes from 10 to 16 AWG, making it a versatile choice for a range of branch circuit and tap connection tasks. Split bolt connectors of this type are torqued down over conductors to form a secure mechanical and electrical bond without the need for soldering. Electricians and electrical contractors are the primary installers of this hardware.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work where copper conductors need to be spliced or tapped at junction points. Common applications include service entrance work, panel feeders, and branch circuit connections where a durable, code-acceptable mechanical connector is required. The silicon bronze construction makes it a practical option in damp or corrosive environments where standard steel hardware may degrade. Sold in a package quantity of 25, this connector is well suited for contractors stocking standard consumables for ongoing projects.

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 conductor connections. Use an appropriately sized hex wrench or nut driver to tighten the bolt against the conductors. After installation, wrap the connector with listed electrical tape or an insulating cover if required by the installation environment or local code.
