Burndy KS15 Split-Bolt Connector

The Burndy KS15 is a copper split-bolt connector designed to join copper conductors ranging from 10 AWG to 8 AWG. It is intended for electrical professionals and industrial maintenance teams who need a reliable, code-compliant splice or tap in power distribution circuits. The connector carries CSA certification and meets UL 486A, UL 486B and UL 486D standards.

Suited for copper-to-copper splicing.

This connector suits installers joining solid or stranded copper wire within the 10 to 8 AWG range for run and tap combinations. It is not for buyers who need to connect aluminium conductors, who require a connector rated for larger wire gauges, or who need an insulated or pre-assembled splice kit for faster installation.

Unplated copper body with square-head hex nut

The unplated copper body provides direct metal-to-metal contact for low-resistance joints. A square-head hex nut measuring 0.5 in allows standard wrench tightening to the specified 165 in-lb torque. RoHS compliance confirms the absence of restricted substances, and the compact 0.85 in length by 0.38 in width fits tight enclosures.

Questions about this item

What copper wire sizes must I already have for the KS15 to connect them?

The connector accepts run conductors from 10 AWG to 8 AWG and tap conductors from 14 AWG to 8 AWG, all solid or stranded copper.

Will the square-head nut on this split-bolt fit the same 0.5 in hex driver I use on older Burndy lugs?

Yes, the KS15 uses a 0.5 in hex nut, so your existing driver works without an adapter.

How do I verify the joint is torqued correctly after tightening the bolt?

Tighten the square-head nut to 165 in-lb with a calibrated torque wrench; the connector is then set to its rated 35 000 V.
