Overview

The NSI Industries GL214 is a high-conductivity copper compression lug designed for reliable electrical terminations. Manufactured from premium copper tubing, this short barrel lug features a peep hole for visual verification of complete conductor insertion, ensuring a secure and robust connection. Its tin plating offers superior corrosion resistance and minimizes contact resistance, contributing to long-term performance and electrical integrity. This lug is UL486A Listed as a wire connector and UL467 Listed for grounding and bonding applications (for wire sizes 8 AWG - 3/0 AWG). It is also cULus Listed (155027). The GL214 is rated for a maximum temperature of 90°C and a voltage of 600V. For applications exceeding 2000V, it is listed for up to 35KV maximum when properly installed according to cable manufacturer's voltage stress relief instructions. Key specifications for the GL214 include a wire range of 2 AWG, a 1/4" bolt size, and a short barrel design. The lug is clearly marked with die index information and color-coded for easy identification and selection, streamlining installation processes. The peep hole feature is critical for ensuring that the conductor is fully seated within the barrel, preventing potential issues related to improper termination. This attention to detail in design and manufacturing makes the GL214 a dependable choice for various industrial and commercial electrical systems where a secure and durable copper compression connection is paramount. It is suitable for use with Class B or C building wire CU cable only. Consult your current NEC manual for specific ampacity calculations based on insulation type and conductor material.

How to Install Copper Compression Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing copper compression connectors, ensuring secure and reliable electrical connections.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Wire brush

Supplies needed:

Copper compression connectors, Cable

  1. Strip the conductor

    Carefully strip the insulation from the conductor without nicking the strands, ensuring the stripped length allows for complete insertion into the connector barrel.

  2. Clean the conductor

    Use a wire brush to clean the stripped portion of the conductor, removing any oxide films to ensure a good electrical connection.

  3. Insert the conductor

    Insert the cleaned and stripped conductor completely into the connector barrel, ensuring it fills the barrel fully.

  4. Crimp the connector

    Using the appropriate crimping tool, apply pressure to crimp the connector securely onto the conductor, following the manufacturer's suggested crimp locations.

  5. Verify the connection

    Inspect the crimped connection to ensure it is secure and that there are no visible gaps or loose strands.
