The Greaves SNAP connector is unlike conventional compression connectors, and may be different from anything a contractor or inspector has seen before
The unique design includes two basic elements: a tin-plated copper body with tapered, threaded entry, and an engineered brass snap-off nut with inner taper that matches the body
To achieve the connection, the nut is tightened with a standard wrench (open-end or adjustable)
When tightened, the matching tapers evenly compress the copper body into the conductor, and the serrated inner surfaces bite for optimum pull-out strength
As the nut is tightened further, the hex portions snap off at their pre-set torque
The breaking torque is engineered into each size nut to a level that exceeds UL torque requirements
