Chatsworth 40163-002 C-type Compression TAP
Overview
The Chatsworth 40163-002 is a C-type compression tap designed for secure electrical connections within grounding systems, particularly relevant for ensuring proper grounding of surveillance equipment racks and enclosures. This tap facilitates the connection of #4 stranded or #4 solid conductors for the run, and #4 stranded or #6 solid conductors for the tap, providing a reliable pathway for fault current or static discharge. Its robust construction ensures long-term performance in commercial and industrial environments.
Compatibility
This C-type compression tap is engineered to accept specific wire gauges: #4 AWG stranded or #4 AWG solid conductors for the main run, and #4 AWG stranded or #6 AWG solid conductors for the tap connection. It is suitable for use with copper conductors and is intended for grounding applications where reliable, low-resistance connections are critical for system integrity and safety.
Installation Notes
Installation requires a compatible compression tool capable of crimping C-type connectors onto the specified wire gauges. Ensure the conductors are clean and free of oxidation prior to crimping. Proper torque and a full, concentric crimp are essential for optimal electrical performance and mechanical strength. Consult relevant electrical codes and manufacturer guidelines for correct application and installation practices.
