How to Install the Copper Compression Connectors

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

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Heat gun or propane torch

Supplies needed:

Copper compression connectors, Heat shrink tubing, Wire

  1. Prepare the wire

    Strip the wire insulation to the length specified in the tool chart, ensuring not to nick or damage the conductor strands.

  2. Insert the wire

    Insert the stripped wire into the copper compression connector until it reaches the stop. Ensure a snug fit.

  3. Crimp the connector

    Using the appropriate crimping tool, crimp the connector according to the specified number of crimps indicated on the tool chart, starting from the tongue end and moving towards the wire end.

  4. Inspect the crimp

    Check the crimped connection for sharp edges, flash, or burrs and remove any imperfections to ensure a safe connection.

  5. Apply heat shrink tubing

    Cut the heat shrink tubing to the desired length, allowing for at least 1-1/2 inch overlap on the wire insulation. Slide it over the crimped connector.

  6. Shrink the tubing

    Use a heat gun or propane torch to evenly shrink the tubing, moving from the crimped portion of the connector towards the insulated wire until the adhesive flows at the ends, indicating completion.
