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.

Key Features

  • Mechanical Connector: Split-bolt style mechanical connector engineered for CUWeld and copper conductor applications.
  • Copper Alloy Spacer Bar: Supplied with a CU alloy spacer that separates the run and tap conductors for consistent, reliable positioning inside the connector body.
  • Recommended Torque: 250 LBS recommended installation torque for a properly seated, secure mechanical connection.
  • KVS Series: Model KVSW28 belongs to Burndy's KVS series of mechanical connectors, sharing the series' split-bolt design approach.
  • Conductor Compatibility: Suitable for use with copper and CUWeld conductors in tap and splice applications.
  • Field-Installed Hardware: Bolted mechanical design allows installation with standard electrician's hand tools, without special crimping equipment.

Why Burndy?

Burndy is a well-established name in mechanical and electrical connectors, and the KVSW28 reflects that standard with a purpose-built copper alloy spacer bar and a clearly defined 250 LBS recommended torque value that supports consistent, repeatable installations in the field. Because the spacer bar keeps the run and tap conductors properly separated inside the connector body, electricians can install the KVSW28 with confidence that the mechanical connection will be positioned correctly and torqued to the manufacturer's recommendation. For copper and CUWeld conductor tap and splice work where a dependable, field-installable mechanical connector is required, the Burndy KVSW28 is engineered to deliver consistent, code-compliant performance backed by the Burndy name that electrical professionals rely on.

Burndy KVSW28 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Can I use the Burndy KVSW28 on aluminum conductors?
No. The KVSW28 is specified for copper and CUWeld conductors only. For aluminum or aluminum-to-copper taps you need a connector rated AL/CU, not this one, since the copper alloy spacer bar and body are built for copper conductor systems.
2) What does the spacer bar in the KVSW28 actually do?
It is a copper alloy bar that sits inside the connector body and physically separates the run conductor from the tap conductor. That keeps the two conductors from shifting or nesting into each other as the bolt is tightened, so the joint stays consistent. It ships with the connector, so there is no separate part to order.
3) Is a split-bolt like the KVSW28 the right choice, or should I use a compression connector?
A split-bolt such as the KVSW28 is the practical pick when you need a field-made tap or splice on copper and cannot get crimping equipment to the location, or when the connection may need to come apart later. Compression connectors are the better call where a permanent, tamper-resistant joint is specified or where the connection will be buried or encased. Both do the same electrical job; the difference is tooling and whether the joint is meant to be reworked.
4) Can the Burndy KVSW28 be used for grounding and bonding taps?
Yes. Grounding and bonding conductor connections are among the listed applications, along with service entrance conductor connections and general power distribution taps in commercial and industrial work, all on copper or CUWeld conductor.
5) What is the exact part number to order, and is it part of a wider Burndy family?
Order by Burndy part number KVSW28. It sits in Burndy's KVS series of split-bolt mechanical connectors, so if you are standardizing a facility on one style of copper tap connector, other sizes in the KVS family share the same split-bolt design approach.
6) Where do I find the conductor size range for the Burndy KVSW28?
Burndy publishes the KVSW28 conductor range and dimensional data on its own spec sheet, BRDY-KVSW28-SPEC-EN, which is supplied with the product record. Match your run and tap conductor sizes against that sheet before you set the connector, because a split-bolt only develops its rated joint when both conductors fall inside the range the connector is built for.
