    Inline Entry

    These tap/connectors join larger wire sizes, such as power and control cable in distribution panels. Insert your main wire into a port, then insert tap wires into the other ports and tighten the set screws. The wires lock in place for a consistent and durable connection.
    Single-Sided Entry—Insert all your wires from the same side. The slim profile fits better in crowded panels and boxes than dual-sided entry tap/connectors.
    Dual-Sided Entry—Stagger multiple wires running from opposite directions—especially rigid wire that won't bend around the connector. For a safe flow of current, attach only one wire per port. Wires connected on both sides may overload the port, causing the connector to overheat and fail.
    Inline Entry—Connect wires from opposite directions to create a straight run. Similar to butt splices.
    Aluminum and Copper (For Joining Dissimilar Metals)—Aluminum and copper don't play well together, but these connectors keep them in line. They cover the wires with an antioxidant compound so the aluminum wire—and the whole connection—won't oxidize and corrode.

    Add a new branch to your circuit the quick way—no need for a new power source or a wire stripper. These taps bite through insulation to draw power from an installed main wire to new tap wires. Slide in the unstripped main and tap lines, then close the tap and squeeze it with a crimper for a secure connection.

    Tap/Main

    Break and restore your tapped connection without rewiring. Instead of connecting to a bare tap line, these taps lock onto wires with snap-plug terminals on the end. First, insert your main line into the tap (no need to strip the wire first). Next, squeeze the tap with a crimper so it bites through the insulation for a secure connection. Crimp a snap plug (sold separately) onto your tap wire, then pop it in and out of the tap as often as you need.

    Tap/Main

    Unlike other wire taps, a gel filler repels moisture to keep your connection dry and conductive. These taps bite through insulation to draw power from an installed main wire to a new tap wire. No need to cut or strip your wire—slide in the main and tap lines, then close the tap and squeeze it with a crimper for a secure connection.

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Splices, Connectors, and Taps. Underground Wire Tap/Connectors, Offset Entry.

    Single-Sided Entry

    Offset Entry

    Plugged and sealed at every opening, these tap/connectors protect wire from groundwater and rocky soil. The trim-to-size port plugs create a tight seal where the wire enters. The other plugs have double O-rings to seal off gaps around the set screws.
    Single-Sided Entry—Insert all your wires from the same side. The slim profile fits better in crowded panels and boxes than dual-sided entry tap/connectors.
    Offset Entry—Attach wires running from opposite directions—especially rigid wire that won't bend around the connector. The connection points are staggered so that current flows freely instead of concentrating in one spot and causing a fault.
    Aluminum and Copper (For Joining Dissimilar Metals)—Aluminum and copper don't play well together, but these connectors keep them in line. They cover the wires with an antioxidant compound so the aluminum wire—and the whole connection—won't oxidize and corrode.

    Covers

    Lay the main wire into your tap on the first try instead of poking and threading. The tap wire connects parallel to the tap or at 90°, so the tap will slide into your setup at different angles. Strip both wires and slide off the screw plate before installation. Tighten the set screws onto both wires for a secure connection.
    Covers—These covers fully insulate the tap so moisture can't reach the wire. They snap shut so you don't have to tape them down.

    Keep multiple sizes of wire taps on hand to tap any wiring in your facility. With a tighter grip than other insulation-piercing options, these taps secure connections around motors and other rattling or jolting equipment. Twist the cap to lock the tap onto the main wire. The tap will bite through the insulation to establish a connection. Next, strip your tap wire and thread it into the tap to draw power and create a new circuit.
