Burndy BITO4 Opposite-Side 2-Conductor Clear Insulated Multi-Tap Connector

The Burndy BITO4 is a UNITAP™ multiple tap connector engineered for opposite-side, 2-port conductor entry in commercial and industrial electrical systems. Its clear Plastisol-covered body lets installers visually confirm proper conductor seating while insulating live connections, and the connector accepts #14-4 AWG conductors and is rated for both aluminum and copper (Al/Cu) applications. This dual-metal flexibility makes the BITO4 well suited for tap and run splicing where mixed conductor types must terminate reliably in a single connector body, and the opposite-side entry configuration keeps wire routing simple in tight panel and junction box layouts. As part of Burndy's UNITAP™ family of mechanical tap connectors, the BITO4 is built for electricians and panel builders who need a dependable, inspectable connection point on every run.

Key Features

  • Conductor Range: Accepts #14-4 AWG conductors, covering a wide range of tap and run wiring applications.
  • Al/Cu Rated: Suitable for both aluminum and copper conductors, simplifying mixed-metal installations without needing separate connector types.
  • Clear Plastisol Insulation: Clear Plastisol covering insulates the completed connection while still allowing installers to visually verify conductor placement and seating before closing up the enclosure.
  • 2-Port, Opposite-Side Entry: Conductors enter from opposite sides of the connector body, keeping wire runs straight and reducing bend stress in run/tap layouts.
  • Multi-Tap Design: Purpose-built as a multiple tap connector for branching circuit conductors off a main run rather than requiring separate splice hardware.
  • UNITAP™ Series: Part of Burndy's UNITAP™ line of mechanical tap connectors used throughout commercial and industrial electrical distribution.
  • Compact Connector Body: The 2-port design fits efficiently into panelboards, tap boxes, and junction boxes where space along the run is limited.

Burndy BITO4 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes does the Burndy BITO4 tap connector accept?
The BITO4 takes stranded conductors from 14 AWG through 4 AWG, and the same range applies whether you are landing aluminum or copper. That covers a typical branch tap off a feeder run as well as small control and lighting conductors, so one connector body handles a mixed bag of wire sizes on the same job.
2) Can I tap an aluminum conductor to a copper conductor with the Burndy BITO4?
Yes. The BITO4 is an Al/Cu rated UNITAP connector, with the same 14 AWG to 4 AWG range published for both aluminum and copper stranded wire. That means you can bring an aluminum run in one side and land a copper tap on the other without switching to a separate connector type for the transition.
3) How many conductors does the BITO4 hold, and which direction do the wires enter?
Two ports, with the conductors entering from opposite sides of the body. That opposite-side entry keeps the run straight through the connector instead of doubling wires back on themselves, which is what you want in a crowded panelboard or junction box where bend radius is already tight.
4) Does the Burndy BITO4 come insulated, or do I have to tape it up?
It ships with a clear Plastisol covering over the body, so the finished connection is insulated as installed. Because the cover is clear rather than opaque, you can still see that each conductor is fully seated in its port before you close up the enclosure, which is the main reason electricians pick this over a bare mechanical lug plus tape.
5) Should I use a multi-tap connector like the BITO4 or a split-bolt for tapping a branch off a main run?
A multi-tap connector is the cleaner choice when you want an inspectable, pre-insulated connection point on the run. The BITO4 is built as a run/tap device: the main passes through one port, the tap lands in the other, and the clear insulated body finishes the joint with no taping step. A split-bolt is bare metal and needs to be built up with tape or a boot, and it does not give you a defined port for each conductor size.
6) I need to land three or four conductors in one connector. Is the BITO4 the right part?
No. The BITO4 is a two-port connector only, one conductor per port. If you have three or more conductors coming together, step up to a UNITAP connector with the port count you need rather than trying to double up wires in a single port.
7) Will the BITO4 work for a grounding or bonding tap?
Yes, grounding and bonding taps are among its listed applications, and the 14 AWG to 4 AWG Al/Cu range covers most equipment grounding conductors you would branch off a bonding run in commercial work. Use it the same way as any run/tap: main through one port, ground tap in the other.
8) What is the exact part number to order for this Burndy clear insulated 2-port tap connector?
Order Burndy BITO4. It is a single-configuration item, so there are no finish or size options to specify, and the UNITAP trade name on the catalog page refers to the Burndy mechanical tap connector family it belongs to.
