SURE-TAP ELBOW TERMINATION SYSTEM

The Sure-Tap™ system is ideal for applications where the deadbreak elbow will be moved to achieve a visible break. T-body and Sure-Tap™ operate as one unit, making it easier to install and remove from the mating bushing interface. The 200A loadbreak interface can be either 15kV or 25kV rated. This interface allows for direct connection test, phasing and a visible ground. In addition, it can be used to add a tap, or install an elbow arrester to protect your underground distribution system from voltage surges. The LRTP system uses a threaded compression lug allowing the LRTP to be threaded into the T-body forming an integral termination system. The T-body can be ordered with or without a capacitive test point.

• First of its kind design using all aluminum or all copper mating components making for a more reliable electrical connection. Mixed metal current paths thermal cycle poorly and can lead to failure • Special stud design prevents cross threading and backwards installation • Wide torque range with 55ft*lbs as the optimal torque but can be used at 20ft*lbs if desired • Internal parts turn freely inside of Sure-Tap (this decreases friction between LRTP and T-body interface giving more accurate torque to the bushing) • Alignment nose is designed to prevent cross threading and easily breaks free after proper shear torque has been reached, which exposes internal threads to mate with bushing stud
