UTILITY / OVERHEAD

Aluminum Expanded Range Press-Ons Types KN and KN-R • Manufactured from high conductivity aluminum • Designed for overhead line tap applications with copper*, aluminum, ACSR, and compact conductors • In copper to aluminum applications, H-shaped profile with solid barrier provides conductor separation, prevents strand cutting, and minimizes galvanic corrosion • Deep indent crimp lines make crimp locations clearly visible • Bendable tabs secure both run and tap conductors, enabling the user to easily operate installation tool • Pre-filled with oxide inhibitor and individually boxed
