This device requires you to strip the wire, scratch brush it, put anti oxide on it, tighten it with 2 wrenches, and wrap it with 2 rolls of rubber tape then 3 rolls of electrical tape. It looks awesome (NOT), and takes a lot of time and space in a box.<\/p>\n<p>Then came the compression splice. Strip the wire, stick it in both ends of the splice, crimp it down and then heat shrink. Problem is, a lot of folks don\u2019t own a crimper so they go old school with a hammer or a rock to smash it!<\/p>\n<p>Now there is a quick and easy way to splice. The Burndy Unitap!<\/p>\n<p>This is so cool!!! Strip the wire, insert into the Unitap and tighten down the set screws and you\u2019re done. No tape, no heat shrink and it is a nice looking splice.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.gordonelectricsupply.com\/p\/Burndy-Bibs-2-0-3-Multiple-Wire-Term\/1135251?text=1135251&amp;lsi=true\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">BURNDY BIBS-2\/0-3<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Features &amp; Benefits<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>600 Volt Rated<\/li>\n<li>Fully Insulated Aluminum 6061-T6 connector body saves time and lowers installation costs by eliminating the need for taping<\/li>\n<li>Listed to UL486A-B (File E9498)<\/li>\n<li>CSA Certified to C22.2, No. 65 (File 042860_c_00)<\/li>\n<li>Rated for use with flex conductor (No Ferrules Required!)<\/li>\n<li>AL9CU dual rated for use with copper and aluminum conductors<\/li>\n<li>Range taking designs will accommodate wire sizes from #14-750 kcmil Class B &amp; C, and #14- 535 DLO Flex<\/li>\n<li>Configurations include Taps, In-Line Splice Reducers, Single-Sided Entry, and Double-Sided Entry with the number of ports from 2 to 14<\/li>\n<li>Clear Plastisol Insulation allows visual confirmation that conductor is properly inserted into port<\/li>\n<li>Operating temperature from -40\u00b0C to 135\u00b0C<\/li>\n<li>Conductor ports are pre-filled with oxide inhibitor<\/li>\n<li>Screw Port and Conductor Port caps provided to protect against contamination and accidental contact of energized parts<\/li>\n<li>Caps are color coordinated to quickly identify maximum conductor size accommodated<\/li>\n<li>Screw Port caps contain recommended installation torque values for quick and easy reference<\/li>\n<li>\u2022 Conductor Port caps contain the accommodated wire range and allowable conductor classes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>~Woody<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Splicing large wire has been a challenge since it was invented.
