used to apply COPALUM
™
splices to solid-conductor wire. Read this manual carefully before attempting to
operate the tool for the first time. The performance of the tool depends largely on the intelligent use of the

This manual is for tooling revisions C and above.
TE Connectivity Aluminum Wire Re-termination Program
, which provides materials and
procedures to modify branch circuits in aluminum- wired homes in compliance with the National Electrical
Code. The program is intended only for qualified electricians and uses only materials listed by Underwriters
Laboratories.
The program consists of permanently joining a short length, or pigtail, of solid-copper wire to existing number
12 and 10 solid aluminum wires in 15 ampere and 20 ampere branch circuits. The wires are spliced using
COPALUM splices and TE tooling. The pigtailed copper wire is then connected to the electrical device.
Ordinary branch-circuit wiring methods are used. Aluminum-to-aluminum wire splices are modified by
permanently joining the wires using COPALUM splices and TE tooling.
This program covers modifications of all 15 ampere and 20 ampere branch circuit connections (such as plug
receptacles, switch devices, and junction boxes) and all field-wired appliances( such as lighting fixtures,
garbage disposals, furnace fans and controls, electrical accessories on gas appliances, exterior lighting
fixtures, breaker boxes, and other electrical panels).
