The TTD Overhead Insulation Piercing Connector

Ease of Installation: There are no special tools or cable stripping required.  The installation simply involves the insertion of the jacketed secondary cable into the connector and tightening of a shear-head bolt.  All connectors can be installed with only 2 hex wrenches: (1/2" and 5/8").  The turbo spacer allows the tap side to remain open while you hand tighten the connector on the main wire.  

Connection Quality: Our unique double shear-head bolt ensures connection quality and the correct tightening torque without the use of a torque wrench guaranteeing a perfect connection every time.  This feature eliminates the possibility of hot spots, damaged wires or loose connections.

Safety: The bolt and all external parts of the connector are completely isolated from energized parts and the bolt is covered by the plastic shear-head.  The installer has no contact at any point with an energized part.  TTD's can even be installed on energized conductors, however, the tap must not be under load.

Corrosion Resistant: All TTD connectors make a corrosion-free connection.  This is accomplished by a sealant tank, that during installation is compressed and forces sealant out to protect the connection from oxygen and water.  Properly installed TTD connectors seal water-tight, tested dielectrically at 6000 volts under 1 foot of water for 1 minute with no flash.  The connector bodies are made from high-strength fiber-reinforced thermoplastic and galvanized steel bolts (stainless steel bolts available upon request).
