Overview

The NSI Industries GP-500WC 500 MCM Parallel 'T' Tap Connector with Cover is a high-performance, UL Listed mechanical connector designed for safe and efficient tapping of main conductors without cutting. Engineered for copper-to-copper, copper-to-aluminum, and aluminum-to-aluminum applications, this connector supports solid and stranded wires ranging from 500 MCM to 2 AWG for the main conductor and 500 MCM to 2 MCM for the tap conductor. The lay-in feature eliminates the need to cut the main conductor, while the perpendicular tap allows for both parallel and 'T' tap configurations. The flexible, snap-fit cover ensures a secure, watertight seal without the need for additional taping, reducing installation time and labor costs. Electro-tin plated for low contact resistance, the GP-500WC is rated for 600V and 90°C, making it suitable for demanding industrial and commercial applications. The connector features a secure snap cover that eliminates the need for taping, a rubber grommet for watertight sealing, and double shear-head bolts to ensure a perfect connection every time. With a maximum torque value of 375 in./lbs. and a hex wrench size of 0.375 inches, installation is straightforward and requires no special tools. The GP-500WC is UL Listed/cULus Listed under E155274 and UL486A/B, and CSA 701642 certified, ensuring compliance with industry standards. Ideal for use in energized conductor applications (tap must not be under load), this connector is not recommended for extra-flexible cables or submersible applications.
