SystemShield — Black Cover For H-Tap — 1/0 RUN — 6 AWG TAP

Snap-On Insulating Cover — Matched to H-Tap

Short Description

Hinged snap-on insulating cover for matched compression-tap installations. Current matching cover-family listings support this class as a cover for WRD series D-die tap connectors up to 2-1/2 in long, with features including hinged installation, dual rated insulated, eliminates taping, drain ports, and ultraviolet stabilization.

Product Overview

The SystemShield Snap-On Insulating Cover — Matched to H-Tap is the protective insulating-cover component used with the matched compression-tap connector package in the SystemShield HTAP format. Its technical identity is a hinged insulating cover for matched D-die tap connectors, not a generic boot, not heat shrink, and not an unrelated cover family. The current NSI listing identifies this exact cover class as being used for WRD series tap connectors and rated for D-die taps up to 2-1/2 in long.

The current NSI product page states this cover is a hinged polyurethane cover used for easy installation of WRD series tap connectors, and lists these specific features: dual rated insulated, eliminates taping, drain ports prevent accumulation of moisture, and ultraviolet stabilized.

A current distributor listing for the same cover class also supports the matched physical form factor and gives a technical description of hinged installation, polyethylene material, Type C compression connector used on, 5 in L × 1.45 in W × 1.8 in H cover size, and capacity for 2-1/2 in long or less D-die tap. Because material descriptions differ across current sources, the safest catalog treatment is to keep the product identified primarily by its matched cover class and fit rather than over-locking one polymer description unless the exact production source is locked in the BOM.

This means the correct SystemShield description is a matched insulating cover for the HTAP connector family, with strong emphasis on the connector-fit class and protective function after compression, while keeping material language conservative enough to stay accurate across supplier references.

Key Features

• Hinged snap-on insulating cover for matched compression-tap installations
• Used for WRD series D-die tap connectors up to 2-1/2 in long
• Dual rated insulated on the current manufacturer listing
• Designed to eliminate taping after connector installation
• Drain ports to help prevent accumulation of moisture
• Ultraviolet stabilized for cover-family durability in exposed conditions
• Matched to the compression-tap family used in the SystemShield HTAP format
• Applied after crimp completion as the protective cover component

Technical Specifications

What’s Included

• (1) Snap-On Insulating Cover — Matched to H-Tap
• Hinged cover body only
• No compression connector included in this product entry
• No mounting hardware included

Typical Applications

• Post-crimp insulating protection for matched compression-tap installations
• Grounding and bonding tap connections using matched H-tap connector families
• HTAP connector packaging for field installation
• Connector protection within larger SystemShield kit builds
• Installations where a hinged matched cover is preferred over taped insulation methods

Compatibility

• Dual-Rated CU/AL Compression H-Tap — 1/0 Run to 6 AWG Tap as the matched connector component
• SystemShield HTAP Connector Sub-Assembly, where this cover functions as the protective cover half of the sub-assembly
• SystemShield HTAP Kit — 3FT, where this matched cover is part of the finished connector package
• WRD series D-die tap connectors up to 2-1/2 in long within the supported cover class
• Grounding and bonding installations requiring post-crimp insulating protection for a matched compression tap

Installation Notes

1. Apply this cover only after the matched compression connector has been fully crimped and inspected.
2. Verify that the supplied connector matches the supported cover class for WRD series D-die taps up to 2-1/2 in long before installation.
3. Because current source listings vary in polymer description, the installer should prioritize connector-family match and physical fit over generic material assumptions unless the exact production source is locked in the BOM.
4. Verify connector length, cover fit, hinge closure, and application requirements before final installation.

Compliance & Regulatory Information

This product is described here as a matched insulating cover for the HTAP connector family based on current cover-family listings. Those sources support the hinged installation style, supported connector-fit class, and protective feature set, but they do not justify broader claims beyond the matched-cover family as listed.

It should be used only as part of a properly designed grounding or bonding system and only with a correctly matched compression-tap connector.

Packaging & Handling

• Protect against cracking or hinge damage
• Protect against contamination of interior contact surfaces
• Protect against deformation from crushing or heat exposure
• Protect against mixing with unmatched connector-cover variants

Store in a clean, dry environment before installation. Do not use damaged covers with cracked bodies, distorted hinges, or poor closure fit.

Notes / Limitations

This product is a protective insulating cover component, not a compression connector and not a complete finished sub-assembly by itself.

• Final suitability depends on correct matched connector fit
• Correct connector length compatibility is required
• Proper post-crimp installation is required
• Proper installation practices are required
• Actual application requirements control final suitability
