Overview

The Panduit WGESPLBL straight splice connector is a precision-engineered solution for joining two Wyr-Grid Pathway sections with widths of 8" (204 mm), 12" (305 mm), or 18" (457 mm). This splice connector features a black powder-coated finish and zinc-plated clips to ensure a secure, bonded connection when properly installed. Each package includes one straight splice connector, designed to simplify end-to-end pathway assembly while maintaining structural integrity and electrical continuity. Key specifications include compatibility with Wyr-Grid Pathways, a UL Classified bond capability when installed over bare metal surfaces, and a package quantity of one connector per unit. The splice requires removal of powder coat from pathway surfaces contacting the zinc-plated clip to achieve optimal electrical bonding. This ensures compliance with electrical safety standards and enhances system reliability in industrial and commercial wiring applications. Ideal for applications requiring secure, tool-free pathway connections, the WGESPLBL splice connector is manufactured in the USA and distributed by Gross Automation. Its robust design supports high-performance wiring infrastructure, making it suitable for use in power distribution, control panels, and cable management systems where durability and electrical integrity are critical. The splice connector is part of Panduit's comprehensive Wyr-Grid Pathway system, ensuring seamless integration with other pathway components for a cohesive wiring solution.
