Line Tap/Split Bolt: Effortless Electrical Connections

Introducing Line Taps - Your Splicing Solution

A Line Tap, also recognized as a Split Bolt, stands as a specialized connector designed to streamline splicing or tapping into existing electrical conductors. What sets it apart is its ability to achieve this without the need to cut or disconnect the primary conductor. Line taps prove their worth, especially in applications involving solid or stranded copper conductors.

Material: The Choice Matters

Line taps come in two primary materials:

Brass Line Taps: Crafted from brass, these line taps showcase the excellence of a material known for its exceptional electrical conductivity and remarkable resistance to corrosion.

Aluminum Line Taps: Typically constructed from aluminum or aluminum alloy, these line taps are tailored to seamlessly join aluminum conductors. Their electrical conductivity and compatibility with aluminum make them an ideal choice for such applications.

Plating: A Protective Layer

Line taps often feature protective plating, with two common options:

Tin Plating: Offers additional protection and enhances the longevity of line taps.

Copper Plating: Provides a robust barrier against corrosion and electrical interference.

Design: The Split-Bolt Advantage

The ingenious design of a Line Tap incorporates a split or open-end structure. This design allows the Line Tap to encircle the main conductor and then be securely tightened to establish a strong and reliable connection. The split-bolt design guarantees a firm mechanical grip on the conductors, ensuring a stable and enduring connection.
