Chatsworth 40163-056 C-type Compression TAP
Overview
The Chatsworth 40163-056 is a C-type compression tap designed for secure, reliable electrical connections in surveillance and industrial applications. It facilitates the joining of different conductor sizes, ensuring a robust connection for power distribution or signal integrity. This tap is engineered for use with 4/0 stranded conductors on the run, and accommodates 3/0 solid conductors on the tap side. It also supports #2 stranded and #6 solid conductors for the tap connection, offering flexibility in wiring configurations. This specific model is critical for ensuring continuity and minimizing signal loss in complex power distribution networks common in large facility deployments.
Compatibility
This compression tap is designed for specific conductor sizes: 4/0 stranded for the run, and 3/0 solid for the tap. It also accommodates #2 stranded and #6 solid conductors for the tap connection. Ensure your existing wiring infrastructure matches these specifications before deployment. It is intended for use in electrical systems where these conductor sizes are standard, such as power feeds for security cameras, network equipment racks, or industrial machinery.
Installation Notes
Installation requires a dedicated compression tool compatible with C-type connectors and the specified conductor sizes. Proper torque is essential for a secure connection and must be applied using a calibrated tool. Ensure conductors are clean and free of debris before insertion. The tap is intended for use in dry, protected environments unless otherwise specified by the electrical system design. Consult relevant electrical codes and standards for proper installation procedures.
