Overview

The ABB Copper C-Tap, SKU 54720, is a heavy-duty compression connector designed for reliable 600V electrical applications. Constructed from high-conductivity copper alloy, this C-Tap provides premium electrical properties and high-strength connections, suitable for both solid and stranded copper conductors. Its primary function is to facilitate tapping into unbroken continuous main conductors, serving as a wire joint or a two-way splice. The wide wire range-taking capability, accommodating 8-4 AWG for the main conductor and 8-12 AWG for the branch conductor, significantly minimizes inventory requirements for installers and maintenance professionals. Engineered for efficiency, the 'C' shape of this tap allows for quick and easy installation, reducing overall labor time. The product features a plain finish with a brown color code, corresponding to Die Code 33, which aids in identification and proper tool selection during installation. Its compact dimensions, with a length of 1-5/32 inches and a height of 11/16 inch, make it suitable for installations where space is a constraint. This ABB C-Tap is UL listed and CSA certified to 600V and a temperature rating of 90°C when crimped with specified tools and dies, ensuring compliance with industry safety standards. It is ideal for Class B or C building wire CU cable applications, offering consistent reliability with heavy wall construction that prevents joint relaxation post-installation. Trust ABB Installation Products for dependable electrical connections that meet stringent performance requirements.
