Burndy KVSW28 Split-Bolt Mechanical Connector, Copper Alloy Spacer Bar

Burndy KVSW28 Split-Bolt Mechanical Connector, Copper Alloy Spacer Bar

The Burndy KVSW28 is a split-bolt mechanical connector built for use with CUWeld and copper conductors, giving electrical contractors a dependable way to make tap and splice connections in copper conductor runs. The connector is supplied complete with a copper (CU) alloy spacer bar that physically separates the run conductor from the tap conductor inside the connector body, helping maintain consistent conductor positioning and a clean mechanical joint during installation. Burndy specifies a recommended installation torque of 250 LBS for the KVSW28, giving installers a clear, repeatable target for properly seating the connector and achieving a secure mechanical and electrical connection. As part of Burndy's KVS family of mechanical connectors, the KVSW28 is designed to deliver the fit, finish, and installation consistency that electrical professionals expect from Burndy connector products used on copper conductor systems.
