NOTICE: THIS PRODUCT IS TO BE INSTALLED BY A QUALIFIED ELECTRICIAN IN ACCORDANCE WITH NATIONAL
ELECTRIC CODE OR CANADIAN ELECTRIC CODE REQUIREMENT USING ONE CONNECTOR PER U-BOLT ONLY.
Mounting for 2-1/2” Metallic Conduit (Fig. 1):
1) Place U-bolt through larger hole located in the center of the
connector.
2) Before assembling the connector to the conduit, clean the
conduit surface of irregularities to ensure full contact with
connector.
3) Place U-bolt over the conduit.
4) Attach the bracket to the U-bolt with the square nuts,
provided. NOTE: Make sure that the connector is parallel with
the conduit.
5) Before installing conductors into the connector, clean
conductors to a shiny bright copper nish removing all visible
dirt by wire brushing or with a similar process.
6) Insert the clean conductors into the connector and tighten the
screws located on the top of the connector.
NOTE: To use this connector in a different conduit size or a different
U-bolt than the one provided by Thomas & Betts, install a conductor
as a jumper. See Step 7 on Mounting for 2-1/2” Plastic Conduit.

6) Insert the clean conductors into the connector and tighten the
screws located on the top of the connector.
7) To ground the connector, use one conductor as a jumper
between the grounding electrode or grounding electrode
conductor and the new connector, using a suitable electrical
connector (not supplied).
Mounting On Wall Surface: (Fig. 2):
1) Attach the connector to a wall surface by using the holes
provided in the connector. Using the appropriate screws,
mount the connector to the wall.
2) Before installing conductors into the connector, clean
conductors to a shinny bright copper nish removing all visible
dirt by wire brushing or with a similar process.
3) Insert the clean conductors into the connector and tighten the
screws located on the connector.
4) Use one conductor as a jumper between the grounding
electrode or grounding electrode conductor and the new
connector, using a suitable electrical connector (not supplied).
