ALUMINUM COMPRESSION CONNECTOR INSTALLATION
1. Use a connector marked for the wire size and wire material to be used. NEVER
use a copper connector on aluminum wire.
2. Strip wire insulation to approximate length shown on tool chart. DO NOT nick
or ring the conductor strands.
3. Wire brush the stripped wire to remove oxide film.
4. Insert stripped wire into connector until the wire stops.
5. Using installation tooling shown on tool chart, insert connector in die and place crimps
evenly spaced in crimp zone defined by two color bands on barrel or if connector is
marked with knurl markings, use these markings as a guide to evely space crimps on
barrel of connector. Remove excess joint compound from the wire insulation.
REQUIRED NUMBER OF CRIMPS SHOWN ON TOOL CHART
6. After crimping, inspect for sharp edges, flash or burrs and remove if present.
HEAT SHRINK INSULATION INSTRUCTION
1. Refer to Panduit catalog or www.panduit.com for heat shrink material information,
tubing size, voltage rating, and shrink temperature.
2. Cut tubing to length allowing insulation coverage as desired. Allow a minimum
of 1-1/2" inch overlap on wire insulation.
3. Shrink with a standard propane torch or heat gun. MOVING FROM CRIMPED
PORTION OF CONNECTOR TOWARD INSULATED WIRE. Adhesive flow at
ends indicate shrinkage complete.
WASHER INSTALLATION - ALUMINUM LUGS
1. To ensure a secure bolt connection, best practices requires the use of Belleville spring
washers, like Panduit Type CW washers.
2. Wire brush unplated mounting surfaces and hardware to remove oxidation and coat
these surfaces with anti-oxidation compound like Panduit CMP-100.
3. Tighten the bolt to the recommended torque requirement.
