Burndy 1PLO42 UNITAP Multi-Tap Connector, 2-Port, UV Rated Black

Burndy 1PLO42 UNITAP Multi-Tap Connector, 2-Port, UV Rated Black

The Burndy 1PLO42 UNITAP multi-tap connector is a 2-port, offset-entry mechanical connector engineered for run/tap splice connections in electrical distribution wiring. Rated for copper conductors from 14 AWG - 4 AWG and aluminum conductors from 8 AWG-4 AWG, this Run/Tap connector features a UV rated black housing suited for outdoor and exposed installations. An oxide inhibitor is pre-installed at the factory, simplifying field installation while helping maintain a stable, low-resistance connection between run and tap conductors. Electrical contractors and utility crews rely on connectors like the 1PLO42 to join multiple conductor sizes at a single tap point without swapping to a different connector body.

Key Features
