Burndy UC28RS Cast Aluminum Alloy Parallel Clamp Tap Connector

Burndy UC28RS Cast Aluminum Alloy Parallel Clamp Tap Connector

The Burndy UC28RS is a cast aluminum alloy parallel clamp tap connector built for utility overhead and underground distribution work, where dependable mechanical bolted tap connections are essential. Cast from high strength, high conductivity aluminum alloy, the UC28RS is properly proportioned to minimize stress corrosion and deterioration caused by galvanic action between dissimilar conductor materials. Groove A of the connector accommodates a 1/0-AWG conductor range, while Groove B accepts 8-AWG solid conductors, and the clamp tightens down with a 9/16" wrench for a secure, field-ready tap connection. As part of Burndy's mechanical bolted tap connector and parallel clamp offering, the UC28RS is intended for linemen and utility crews who need a reliable, repeatable connector for overhead and underground distribution circuits.

Key Features

• Conductor Range: Groove A is sized for 1/0-AWG conductors and Groove B accepts 8-AWG solid conductors, giving the UC28RS flexibility to join two different conductor sizes in a single tap connection.
• Durable Construction: Cast from high strength, high conductivity aluminum alloy that stands up to the mechanical and electrical demands of overhead and underground distribution service.
• Corrosion Resistance: Properly proportioned aluminum alloy construction is engineered to minimize stress corrosion and deterioration caused by galvanic action, helping extend service life at the connection point.
• Bolted Connection: Mechanical bolted parallel clamp design tightens with a 9/16" wrench, allowing crews to make and verify a secure, code-compliant tap connection in the field without specialty tooling.
• Parallel Clamp Configuration: Engineered as a parallel clamp within Burndy's mechanical bolted tap connector line, purpose-built for utility overhead and underground distribution applications.
• High Conductivity: Aluminum alloy composition is selected for high electrical conductivity at the tap point, supporting efficient current transfer between conductors.
