Burndy BIBS4-3 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Burndy BIBS 4-port tap connector accept?
The Burndy BIBS multiple tap connector takes 14 through 4 AWG copper stranded and 8 through 4 AWG aluminum conductors. It is ordered by wire size, and the available options are 14 AWG (BIBS4-4), 4 AWG (BIBS4-3), and 350 kcmil (BIBS350-3). Pick the option that matches the largest conductor you are landing, since the port opening is what limits you.
2) Is this Burndy tap connector rated for direct burial or wet underground splices?
No. The BIBS aluminum tap connector is not rated for direct burial. Keep it inside an enclosure, panel, or junction box. For a buried tap you need a connector specifically listed for direct burial.
3) Is the Burndy BIBS multiple tap connector UL Listed and CSA approved for inspection?
It is UL Listed and CSA Certified, and built to UL468A-468B. That is the combination an electrical inspector looks for on a US or Canadian job. Note it is UL Listed rather than UL Recognized, so it stands on its own as a finished component rather than only as part of a larger assembly. It is also RoHS compliant.
4) Will a 600V connector work on a 480V three-phase panel feed?
Yes. The BIBS tap connector carries a 600V minimum voltage rating, which covers 120/208V, 277/480V, and 600V systems. Anything above 600V needs a different class of connector.
5) Does this Burndy tap connector need to be taped or covered after installation?
The BIBS comes with a clear Plastisol insulating cover as part of the connector, so no separate insulating boot or tape wrap is required for the body. The cover being clear lets you eyeball that every conductor is fully seated under its screw before you close the panel.
6) How much room do I need in the gutter or panel for this 4-port tap block?
The BIBS body measures 1.95 x 1.25 x 1.25 inches with the insulation on, and all four ports enter from one side. One-sided entry means you can set it against the back of a can or gutter wall and still dress every conductor in from the same direction, which saves bending space in a crowded panel.
7) Should I use a 4-port multiple tap connector or separate split bolts for each tap?
A 4-port block like the BIBS makes sense when you are breaking one feeder into several branch taps at a single point, such as a distribution panel or a control panel gutter. Four screws land four conductors in one insulated body, so you get one termination point instead of several split bolts each needing its own tape build-up. Split bolts still have a place for a single one-to-one splice or where a conductor falls outside the 14-4 AWG copper / 8-4 AWG aluminum range this block accepts.
8) Will unplated aluminum hardware corrode in a damp mechanical room?
The BIBS uses unplated aluminum hardware, which relies on aluminum's own oxide layer rather than a tin or nickel plating for corrosion resistance. It is fine for indoor panel, gutter, and control cabinet work. It is not a direct burial connector, so anything permanently wet or buried calls for a different part.
