 Shearbolt Connector QCI 500-1000 according to the instructions included with the connector 

(Figure 8).

Go to section 4.0 “Install Splice.”

3.3  If using a crimp type connector, 

remove cable insulation for 1/2 connector length plus an allowance* for 

increases in connector length due to crimping. Insulation removal length shall not exceed 4-1/8" (105 mm) from 

conductor end. 

Do not install connector now 

(Figure 9).

*Note:  This assumes that the installer has determined the increased length of an aluminum connector crimped 

with a specific tool and die.

Note:  1) Copper connectors do not require a length change allowance. 

2) Maximum aluminum connector crimped length allowed is 8.25" (210 mm).
