  • Bolts: Hot-dip galvanized or stainless steel with Zinc Alloy Shear Head for torque control.

  • Sealant: Pre-filled waterproof grease ensures a watertight connection and corrosion protection.

  • End Cap: Integrated PVC Cap, which prevents contamination and loss during installation.

  • Color: Black

Performance & Reliability:

  • Watertightness: Tested at 6 kV for 1 minute under water.

  • Electrical Contact: Teeth penetrate insulation without conductor damage.

  • Mechanical Strength: Maintains cable integrity under load and vibration.

  • Environmental Resistance: Performs reliably in UV, rain, and temperature variations.

  • Maintenance-Free: Long service life with minimal degradation over time.

  • Safety: Live-line installation possible under non-load conditions.

Installation Guide:

  • Use a dielectric torque wrench for tightening.

  • Tighten shear-head bolts until heads break off to ensure correct torque.

  • Ensure proper seating and sealing before energizing.

  • No insulation stripping required, reducing installation time and risk of damage.

  • Suitable for energized mains if not under electrical load.
