12 Catamount general-purpose ties Twist Tail cable tie A Just twist. Redesigned using impact-modified nylon to increase both flexibility and wearability Unique and improved design for quick, easy no-tool installation After installing, remove excess tail with a simple twist motion Tail breaks off neat and clean no sharp edges to damage hands or cables Ideal for limited-space installations where you can t fit a cut-off tool Suitable for light-duty cable tie applications A-8 T&B Commercial Solutions Pocket Guide

13 For fast and easy installation, you can t beat the Catamount Twist Tail cable tie. After you secure the Twist Tail tie around a bundle of cables, simply grasp the excess tail between your thumb and forefinger, bend, bend in the other direction and twist. The tail breaks right off, leaving no sharp edges to scratch your hands or your cables. The Twist Tail cable tie makes tail removal easy with its unique design but still provides a full 30 lbs. minimum loop tensile strength perfect for any general-purpose cable tie application.

15 Catamount terminals Now in convenient, spillproof, re-usable packaging! A While poly bags keep their contents dry, they don t offer much other protection, and they aren t environmentally friendly. That s why Catamount terminals now come in sturdy plastic containers that safeguard the connectors inside against crushing and can be re-used or recycled when empty. T&B is always adding value to its products. With the introduction of a durable plastic container, the value of T&B s Catamount terminals has been significantly enhanced. No more lost or spilled terminals because of inadequate packaging. T&B Commercial Solutions Pocket Guide A-11

24 Catamount electrician s supplies Wire connectors A Catamount Wire Connectors In 1914, William Marr invented the world s first pressure-type wire connector. Since then, these connectors have become synonymous with best quality wire connectors. Easy to install and comfortable in the hand, they are indispensable to electricians. And now they re available as key components of the Catamount product line. This is very good news for your fingers. A-20 T&B Commercial Solutions Pocket Guide

25 How good are they? The first thing you ll notice about Catamount wire connectors is that they come in a variety of types and styles, making it easy for you to identify wire size at a glance. A Feature for feature, here s what makes Catamount connectors significantly better than other connectors. Catamount connectors offer a non-winged, variable-volume live-action spring in the connector. The spring expands to receive the conductors, rather than crushing them together as typical nonwinged competitors do. They can handle a broader range of wire connection combinations. They re coated with 100% pure copper, which reduces the corrosion common to tin- and zinccoated products. Catamount connectors finger friendly design offers a truer grip for less hand fatigue during repeated use. The red non-winged connector is UL Listed for a pair of #8 AWG wires. T&B Commercial Solutions Pocket Guide A-21

26 Catamount electrician s supplies Wire connectors A Catamount wire connectors (continued) The high-grade polypropylene outer shell prevents blooming or blossoming of the connector sidewall. The outer shell maintains a constant moisture level, reducing the likelihood of the connector becoming dry and brittle in extreme heat or cold. Catamount XTP (non-winged) Cat. No. Wire range* Min.

The cable jacket and conductors should be relatively clean and free of greases, oils and other foreign substances. 2. It is best to overlap each wrap of tape by 1 4 to 1 2 of the width for the best seal. 3. When using heat-shrinkable products, most applications require only one or two layers of tape prior to sliding tubing in place. 4. Shrink the tubing, cap, boot, etc., following the installation procedure for the applicable heatshrinkable part. See product instructions for complete instructions and warnings. C-6 T&B Commercial Solutions Pocket Guide

47 To seal the junction or crotch of an application requiring two or more cables, conductors, etc. without a common jacket. 1. Apply the overlapped one or two layers around each cable, conductor, etc., at the same distance from the connector, or ball up the sealant and press into crotch or junction of the joint. 2. Apply two overlapping wraps over the bundle. 3. Slide the expanded heat-shrinkable part over the joint and shrink. C Width Thickness Length Std. Cat. No. Description (in.) (in.) (ft.) pkg. qty.

88 Blackburn mechanical connectors Anti-rotational connectors E Blackburn anti-rotational connectors are designed with a rib on the bottom that keeps the connectors from turning, so there s no need to apply excessive torque and there s no danger of loosening connectors. The unique no-turn rib provides a secure connection that eliminates the conductor pinching that results from connector movement. The no-turn design solves a unique problem for electricians and installers. Larger conductors tend to get damaged in over-torque conditions, and connectors are prone to loosen in applications where there is vibration, such as motor loads. E-16 T&B Commercial Solutions Pocket Guide

89 Inspectors and local standards boards are requiring electricians and installers to make provisions to eliminate these conditions, and Blackburn antirotational connectors are the solution. E No-turn design keeps connector securely in place even under vibration. Unique bottom rib keeps connector from turning Eliminates the need for excessive torque, which can damage large conductors Prevents connector loosening, even in heavyvibration applications T&B Commercial Solutions Pocket Guide E-17

160 Installation tools Color-Keyed compression tools SMART tools Tool is smart because it requires no dies Automatically compresses to the correct depth based on size of connector in jaws C-type head swivels 90 for easy crimp positioning Forged steel construction is well suited for both field and bench work Installs both Color-Keyed and non-insulated Sta-Kon connectors G How the SMART tool works The SMART tool was engineered with built-in intelligence* that enables it to sense the connector barrel diameter and automatically apply just the right amount of compression force. This eliminates virtually all air spaces and forms the connector and conductor strands into a solid mass, resulting in a high-quality, low-resistance connection. In addition, the tool clearly embosses T&B with each compression for positive verification that the correct tool was used. * System Novopress Uniform, dependable connections The SMART tool gives you consistent, high-quality compression connections over a wide range of connector sizes. Available in manual, batterypowered and air-operated versions, this tool easily installs lugs and splices from #8 AWG through 900 G-10 T&B Commercial Solutions Pocket Guide

161 kcmil copper or 750 kcmil aluminum without changing dies. For the specified wire range, all you need is one tool. You always have the right die size, eliminating die-selection mistakes. Lower installation costs Productivity will be greatly improved with the SMART tool, especially when installing a variety of connector sizes or types. Initial investment is low, requiring minimal tool inventory. These benefits add up to lower installed cost. C-type yoke offers installation convenience The C-type yoke configuration and large die spacing enable the SMART tool to slip directly over the connector. This means added speed and convenience when installing two-way splice connectors, especially in confined spaces.
