Overview

The Panduit VT-5-6 is a heavy-duty, two-bolt bronze connector engineered for reliable copper conductor connections in power distribution systems. This connector supports a wide wire range-taking capability, accommodating 400-800 kcmil for the run and 3/0 STR-800 kcmil for the tap, reducing inventory requirements. Manufactured from high-strength silicon bronze castings, it resists stress corrosion and season cracking, ensuring long-term durability. The flat back design allows use as a bus tap when longer bolts are utilized, providing flexibility in installation. UL listed and CSA certified to 600V and temperature rated 90°C when crimped with Panduit or specified competitor tools and dies, ensuring compliance with industry standards. Ideal for utility, industrial plant, and commercial facility applications requiring secure and efficient connections, it is designed for tapping into unbroken continuous mains, wire joints, or two-way splices. Compatible with solid and stranded copper Code conductors, the VT-5-6 delivers consistent performance in demanding environments.
