For Bell-Ended Connectors, add suffix BS to the end of the catalog number.
Thomas & Betts introduces a new line of copper
lugs for flexible and extra-flexible cable including
welding cable. The Color-Keyed belled-end lugs
feature a flared barrel to permit easy insertion of
flexible cables. The flared end offers up to 20%
more surface area upon insertion than standard
lugs. This virtually eliminates crushed or broken
strands that may occur on tight fits. The belled-end
design gradually compresses the fine strands as
the cable is inserted into the lug.
All Color-Keyed® Copper Connectors shown
on this chart are available in belled-end
style. Add suffix “-BS” to catalog number
when ordering.

Thomas & Betts offers its complete line of grid-ground compression connectors.
Our E-Z-Ground™ connectors are designed for direct burial and offer a safe,
efficient alternative to exothermic welding products. Grid ground installations do
not require explosive charges, and can be installed in various climate conditions. These
range-taking products will reduce the number of connectors and dies needed for your
installation. Thomas & Betts E-Z-Ground™ products meet all applicable standards (IEEE837,
UL467, CSA 22.2). Connectors are pre-filled with oxide inhibitors and sealed.
