Burndy UCG25RS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What conductor sizes does the Burndy UCG25RS parallel groove clamp take?
Both grooves on the UCG25RS take 8 AWG stranded through 1/0 AWG stranded. Groove A and Groove B have the same range, so you can run a 1/0 main with an 8 AWG tap, or any combination inside that window. Anything larger than 1/0 or smaller than 8 AWG needs a different clamp in the Tapit line.
2) Can I tap copper to aluminum with the Burndy UCG25RS?
Yes. Each groove accepts copper or aluminum conductors, so the clamp handles copper-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-aluminum taps. The body itself is a high strength, high conductivity aluminum alloy.
3) Is this a bolted mechanical connector or does it need a crimp tool?
It's a mechanical bolted tap connector, part of Burndy's Tapit series. No press, die set, or crimp tool involved. The hardware is made to be run with one of two wrench types, so a lineman can install it with what's already on the belt.
4) How big is the UCG25RS clamp for tight tap locations?
It measures 1-3/8 inches long by 1-5/8 inches wide, which is small enough for crowded tap points on a crossarm or in a pedestal.
5) What part number do I order for the Burndy Tapit aluminum parallel groove clamp?
Order Burndy UCG25RS. That single manufacturer part number covers the clamp complete with its hardware; there are no separate finish or size options to specify.
6) Where is a Burndy Tapit parallel groove clamp typically used?
Utility overhead and underground distribution taps, plus industrial power distribution where a bolted copper or aluminum tap is needed rather than a compression splice. It is a tap connector, not an inline splice for running conductor end to end.
7) Is there a spec sheet available for the UCG25RS?
Yes, Burndy publishes a spec sheet for the UCG25RS at https://hubbellcdn.com/specsheet/BRDY-UCG25RS-SPEC-EN.pdf, which is the document to hand a utility inspector or attach to a submittal package.
