Burndy FASTAP LINEMAN ASSIST Aluminum Parallel Groove Clamp

The Burndy FASTAP with LINEMAN ASSIST Aluminum Parallel Groove Clamp delivers a reliable, professional-grade electrical connection for utility and industrial applications. Built from Aluminum for corrosion resistance and lightweight field handling, this connector accommodates multiple conductor types — including AAAC, ACSR, aluminum stranded, and copper conductors up to 336.4 MCM — giving crews a single, versatile clamp for demanding outdoor installations. FASTAP technology combined with the LINEMAN ASSIST design speeds installation while maintaining the connection integrity required for critical electrical infrastructure.

Key Features

  • Broad Conductor Range: Rated for AAAC (6 STR – 336.4), ACSR (2 Str. – 336.4), aluminum stranded (1 Sol. – 400), and copper (8 – 400) conductors, covering large-conductor, high-current applications.
  • Durable Aluminum Construction: Aluminum body provides excellent corrosion resistance and lightweight performance for outdoor utility environments.
  • FASTAP Technology: Enables efficient installation with reduced labor time and consistent, repeatable connection quality.
  • LINEMAN ASSIST Design: Enhances safety and ease of installation for field technicians working on energized systems.
  • Multi-Conductor Compatibility: A single clamp accommodates AAAC, ACSR, aluminum stranded, and copper conductors for versatile application use.

Burndy UCT26RS – Frequently Asked Questions

1) Will a Burndy UCT parallel groove clamp take both aluminum and copper conductors on the same connection?
Yes. The FASTAP LINEMAN ASSIST clamp is rated for AAAC (6 STR to 336.4), ACSR (2 Str. to 336.4), aluminum stranded (1 Sol. to 400), and copper (8 to 400), so one clamp handles a mixed run of conductor types on utility distribution and industrial power work.
2) Which Burndy UCT clamp do I need for a 4/0 tap off a 336.4 ACSR run?
UCT32RS. Its run side covers 1 Sol. to 400 Cu/Al (ACSR 2 to 336.4) and the tap side takes 8 Sol. to 4/0, so a 4/0 tap off 336.4 ACSR is inside both ranges. The smaller UCT26RS tops out at a 2/0 run (ACSR 6 to 2/0) with a 6 Sol. to 2/0 tap, so it will not accept either conductor in that job.
3) What is the difference between the Burndy UCT26RS and UCT32RS parallel groove clamps?
Conductor range is the only choice on the UCT clamp, and it is the whole decision. UCT26RS is the small-conductor version: run 8 Sol. to 2/0 Cu/Al (ACSR 6 to 2/0), tap 6 Sol. to 2/0. UCT32RS is the large one: run 1 Sol. to 400 Cu/Al (ACSR 2 to 336.4), tap 8 Sol. to 4/0. Both are aluminum bodied and unplated. Pick by the largest run conductor you have to land, then confirm the tap falls in range.
4) Will the Burndy UCT26RS work on a 4/0 aluminum run?
No. The UCT26RS run groove stops at 2/0 Cu/Al (ACSR 6 to 2/0), so a 4/0 conductor will not seat. Move up to the UCT32RS, which takes 1 Sol. through 400 on the run and 8 Sol. through 4/0 on the tap.
5) Is the Burndy FASTAP clamp plated or bare aluminum, and will it hold up outdoors?
Bare. The body is aluminum and supplied unplated, which is the normal finish for overhead distribution hardware exposed to weather. If your spec calls for a tin-plated connector for a copper-to-copper connection in a corrosive environment, this is not that part.
6) How much room does a Burndy UCT parallel groove clamp need on the line?
Figure 2.82 inches wide by 2.62 inches high by 1.62 inches long. That matters where taps are stacked close together on a crossarm or inside a crowded substation connection, since the clamp body sets the minimum spacing between adjacent conductors.
7) Is the Burndy FASTAP LINEMAN ASSIST clamp CSA approved?
No, the UCT clamp is not CSA approved. If you are working a Canadian utility spec that requires CSA certification on the connector, this one will not satisfy it.
8) Do I need a compression tool or a die set to install a Burndy UCT clamp?
No. A parallel groove clamp is a bolted mechanical connector, so it goes on with hand tools rather than a hydraulic crimper and die. That is the trade-off against a compression connector: no press to haul up the pole, and it can be loosened and re-landed if the tap changes, where a compression sleeve is permanent once crimped.
9) Can I use a parallel groove clamp instead of a split bolt for an aluminum service tap?
For aluminum on overhead line work, the parallel groove clamp is the right family. The UCT is an aluminum-bodied tap connector rated for AAAC, ACSR, aluminum stranded and copper, and it lands the run and tap in separate grooves so the two conductors are clamped in parallel rather than wrapped. Split bolts are generally a copper indoor answer; for a 336.4 ACSR run outdoors, use the UCT32RS.
