Burndy KVS40 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What conductor size does the Burndy KVS40 split-bolt connector take?
The KVS40 OKLIP connector is sized for 800MCM conductors. It is a single-size heavy service connector, so it is not the part for smaller feeder or branch conductors, and both the run and the tap need to fall in that 800MCM range for the split bolt to seat properly.
2) What torque do I tighten a Burndy KVS40 to?
500 in-lb is the recommended tightening torque on the KVS40. It is a mechanical connector, so use a torque wrench rather than feel, since the connection integrity on an 800MCM service conductor depends on hitting that value.
3) Do I need a crimping tool or press to install the KVS40?
No press, no dies, no hydraulic tool. The KVS40 is a mechanical split-bolt connector that installs with an ordinary wrench, which is why crews use it for service and distribution splices where dragging a compression tool to the work is impractical. You do want a torque wrench to reach the specified 500 in-lb.
4) What is the KVS40 made of, and can I use it on copper conductors?
The body is high copper alloy, with DURIUM bolts. That construction is what carries the current and the mechanical load on an 800MCM connection. High copper alloy bodies of this type are made for copper conductors.
5) Why is the Burndy KVS40 a two-piece connector instead of one piece?
The OKLIP design splits the connector into two pieces so it stays compact on a large 800MCM conductor while still holding high mechanical strength. Neoprene rings retain the DURIUM bolts in position while you are working, so the halves do not fall apart on you overhead or in a handhole.
6) Can I use a split-bolt connector like this for a tap off a main service conductor?
Yes. Conductor splicing and tapping is one of the stated uses for the KVS40, along with service entrance and power distribution wiring in industrial and commercial work. Since it is a mechanical connection rather than compression, it can be taken apart and re-torqued if the tap is later moved.
7) Does the KVS40 come insulated, or do I need to tape or boot the splice?
The KVS40 ships as a bare mechanical split-bolt connector, body plus DURIUM bolts. Insulating the completed splice is a separate step, so plan on tape, a split-bolt insulating cover, or heat shrink sized for an 800MCM joint as part of the job.
8) What is the exact part number to order the Burndy 800MCM OKLIP connector?
Order Burndy KVS40. That is the manufacturer part number, and the model is a single configuration, so there is no finish, length, or range option to specify with it.
