Grounding Split Bolt Connector

The Burndy KC26B1 is a mechanical grounding connector made from leaded bronze alloy. It accepts a single grounding wire ranging from 2 to 1/0 AWG solid or 2 to 2/0 AWG stranded. The connector carries UL listing and UL467 compliance for direct burial applications. It suits installers who need a code-compliant grounding joint for copper conductors.

Installation torque and thread check

Verify that your torque tool can reach 480 in-lb before ordering. The stud uses a 1/2 in.-13 thread, so confirm the mating hardware matches this specification. Overall length is 2.625 in and width is 7/8 in, so ensure the enclosure or junction box provides enough working space. The connector is rated for one conductor in the run position.

Sustained load behaviour

Under continuous service the bronze body maintains mechanical clamping force without the creep common to softer alloys. UL direct-burial listing confirms the connector resists corrosion and heating cycles in damp soil. The 480 in-lb installation torque creates a stable, low-resistance joint that does not loosen under thermal expansion. It is not suited for applications requiring multiple conductors per bolt.

Questions about this item

Does the KC26B1 grounding split bolt connector come with any installation hardware or tools, or must they be purchased separately?

The connector is supplied as a single bronze split bolt with an integrated stud; no additional hardware or tools are included in the package.

Which conductor sizes does the KC26B1 accommodate so I can choose the right version for my job?

It accepts one grounding wire from 2 to 1/0 AWG solid or 2 to 2/0 AWG stranded, covering the full range in a single model.

What does the 480 in-lb installation torque mean when I tighten the KC26B1 on a real grounding conductor?

It is the maximum tightening torque to apply with a calibrated wrench so the bronze bolt clamps the conductor securely without damaging the threads.
