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

Dual-Rated CU/AL Compression H-Tap — 1/0 Run to 6 AWG Tap

Short Description

Wide-range compression H-tap for run-to-tap grounding and bonding connections. Current matching connector-family listings support this hardware class as a dual-rated compression tap for copper, aluminum, and ACSR conductor families, with 600 V rating, high-strength aluminum construction, reversible body design, and installation by standard compression tools and dies.

Product Overview

The SystemShield Dual-Rated CU/AL Compression H-Tap — 1/0 Run to 6 AWG Tap is a compression connector used to create a compact run-to-tap branch connection in grounding and bonding installations. The technical identity of this product is a wide-range compression tap / compression H-tap class, not a mechanical lay-in lug, split bolt, or terminal block.

Current matching listings in this connector family describe the part class as suitable for power distribution, grounding, and data transmission, and identify the conductor family as copper, aluminum, and ACSR on current product data. The same current listing shows 600 V, aluminum material, and a compression installation method using standard compression tools and dies.

Matching family literature also supports the construction features commonly associated with this wide-range tap class: formable ribs for broader contact area, fold-in tabs for positive interlock as the tool closes, and a reversible connector body. Those family-level attributes are appropriate to carry into this listing because they describe the current wide-range compression-tap class rather than a speculative unrelated product family.

This connector should therefore be treated as a SystemShield compression-tap connector entry using conservative, class-correct language tied to the current wide-range compression-tap family, while leaving room for exact sourced variant control inside the BOM if needed.

Key Features

• Dual-rated compression tap class for copper, aluminum, and ACSR conductor families
• Run-to-tap compression connection format
• 600 V current connector-family voltage class
• High-strength aluminum connector body class
• Reversible body design
• Formable ribs for broader contact area
• Fold-in tabs for positive interlock during compression
• Installs with standard compression tools and dies per current matching family listing language

Technical Specifications

The values above are intentionally written as current connector-family specifications for this wide-range compression-tap class. They are strong enough for catalog accuracy without pretending that every possible supplier variant in the class is identical.

What’s Included

• (1) Dual-Rated CU/AL Compression H-Tap — 1/0 Run to 6 AWG Tap
• Compression connector body only
• No insulating cover included in this product entry
• No mounting hardware included

Typical Applications

• Grounding run-to-tap conductor connections
• Bonding branch connections in cabinets and enclosures
• Equipment grounding branch taps
• Compact conductor branching where a compression-tap format is required
• HTAP-based connector packages inside larger SystemShield finished kits

Compatibility

• Snap-On Insulating Cover — Matched to H-Tap, when used as the matched protective cover for the finished connector package
• #6 AWG Green THHN/THWN-2 Stranded Copper — 3 ft — Pre-Stripped, Pre-Crimped One End in the finished HTAP kit context
• Appropriate run-side conductor matching the selected wide-range connector application
• SystemShield HTAP Connector Sub-Assembly, where this connector is the primary electrical connector component
• SystemShield HTAP Kit — 3FT, where this connector family is part of the finished connector package

Installation Notes

1. Install this connector only with the correct compression tooling and die family for the exact sourced connector variant. Current matching listings for this connector class state that standard compression tools and dies are used across the family.
2. Because this listing is intentionally written at the wide-range compression-tap family level, the installer should verify actual conductor fit, exact die compatibility, and matched cover compatibility against the supplied production part before field installation. The connector should be fully crimped and inspected before any matched insulating cover is applied.
3. Verify run conductor suitability, tap conductor suitability, die-family match, crimp-tool compatibility, and application requirements before installation.

Compliance & Regulatory Information

This product is described here as a wide-range compression H-tap / compression tap based on current connector-family listings and current family literature. Those sources support the connector class, material class, voltage class, and installation method, but they do not justify expanding the listing into claims beyond what the current connector family actually states.

It should be used only as part of a properly designed grounding or bonding system and within the limits of the exact supplied connector specification.

Packaging & Handling

• Handle and store in a manner that helps prevent:
• connector-body deformation
• contamination of conductor contact areas
• corrosion from improper storage conditions
• mixing with unmatched connector-cover variants

Store in a clean, dry environment before installation. Do not use damaged connectors with bent bodies, compromised ribs, distorted tabs, or other visible defects.

Notes / Limitations

This product is a compression connector component, not a complete finished kit or insulated sub-assembly.

• Final suitability depends on:
• correct conductor match
• correct tooling and die match
• correct matched-cover selection where used
• proper installation practices
• actual application requirements
