Hot Line Tap Clamp

The Hotline Tap Clamp is a durable connector designed for live-line operations in power line construction and maintenance. It allows safe and efficient tapping of conductors without the need for line de-energization. Engineered for high mechanical strength and electrical reliability, the clamp ensures secure connections under mechanical stress and varying environmental conditions.

Key Features

  • Live-line compatible—enables conductor tapping without power interruption.
  • High conductivity—manufactured from corrosion-resistant aluminum alloy or bronze for optimal current flow.
  • Strong mechanical grip—ensures a firm, vibration-resistant connection to main and tap conductors.
  • Heat- and arc-resistant design—supports high-voltage applications in demanding environments.
  • Tool-friendly installation—compatible with hotline sticks and industry-standard tools.
  • Corrosion protection—designed for long service life in outdoor exposure.
  • Versatile application—suitable for a wide range of conductor sizes and utility configurations.
