How to Install the FILLERLOK™ Compression Tap

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the FILLERLOK™ compression tap, ensuring safe and effective electrical connections.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Screwdriver, Wire strippers, Multimeter

Supplies needed:

ALUMA-SHIELD® Aluminum Joint Compound, Terminal connectors, Mounting screws

  1. Prepare the cable

    If the cable is insulated, strip the insulation carefully by whittling to avoid damaging the strands. Clean the aluminum cable with a wire brush or emery cloth to remove surface oxide.

  2. Apply joint compound

    Smear a thin layer of ALUMA-SHIELD® Aluminum Joint Compound on the stripped aluminum cable. Ensure that the Main and Branch grooves of the connector remain filled with the pre-installed compound.

  3. Insert and crimp the connector

    Center the stripped cable in the Main or Branch grooves of the connector. Close the FILLERLOK™ tab and use the appropriate crimping tool to compress the connector according to the specified number of compressions in the installation table.

  4. Inspect the connection

    After crimping, inspect the connection for any sharp edges or burrs and remove them to ensure safety. Verify that the connection is secure and insulated properly.
