2.0 Installation
2.2.2 Bolted Splices
2.2.2.1 Butt conductor bar together and place bolted splice halves at
center of joint and fasten with hardware supplied (see Figure 4).
2.2.2
Note:
Always install curved conductor first.
2.2.3 Splice Cover
2.2.3.1 Snap cover halves onto conductor enclosing the splice joint
halves.
Note:
The PVC conductor cover extends inside the cover halves
so that none of the conductor is exposed. A “cut-out” in the cover halves
is provided to allow for this cover.
2.2.3.2
Important: DO NOT allow the cover halves to overlap the
PVC conductor cover. Overlapping the cover may derail the collector
during operation (see Figure 5).
2.2 Splices
2.2.1 Crimp Splices
2.2.1.1 One end of each 15’ length of
Cluster Bar has a factory attached crimp joint.
2.2.1.2 To join two conductors, slide the end without a splice into the
splice of the next conductor. Butt conductors together before crimping
the joint.
2.2.1.3 To secure the splice, crimp the bottom of each side of the
splice at 1/4” and again at 3/4” from the end using the “Crimp Tool”
(see Figure 3).
2.2.1.4 Snap splice covers together and press retainer cap over top.
