Tested to UL 467, UL File E34440
The GGC Series compression ground tap connector can be used as a tap connector to connect copper ground wire to a copper clad ground rod or as a lap splice connector splic-
ing copper conductors together. The GGC Series of compression connectors are pre-filled with inhibiting compound and are suitable for direct burial.
Notes:
1. ILSCO ILC-12 or ILC-15 Series Tools and ILD Series Dies may be used. Note: Adapter required when using ILC-15 Series Tool. Burndy tools and dies may also be used.
2. Perform a “pre-crimp” on ground rod prior to installing GGC connector. Use an indent type of die such as Burndy’s U2CABT* (Die Index #348).
3. When using #6 AWG solid wire in the tap side, fold conductor double prior to crimping.
4. When using GGC-4, if 3/0
conductor is used in the tap side, use a minimum of 2/0 conductor in the run side.
