Overview

The NSI Industries GL856 is a short barrel copper compression lug designed for reliable 8 AWG copper conductor terminations in industrial and commercial electrical systems. Manufactured from high-conductivity copper tubing and tin-plated for corrosion resistance, this lug ensures low contact resistance and long-term performance. The integrated peep hole allows visual confirmation of complete cable insertion, eliminating installation errors and ensuring secure connections. The GL856 features a 5/16" bolt size and is color-coded red for easy identification. The lug has a 90°C temperature rating and a 600V maximum voltage rating. For applications exceeding 2000V, it is listed for up to 35KV maximum when installed according to cable manufacturer voltage stress relief instructions. The GL856 is produced from premium copper tubing, marked with die index, and designed for Class B or C building wire copper cable only.
