Irreversable as in a crimp connector? I'm sure if you look at Burndy, T&B and others they all make them.

Re: #4 bare CU irreversible connectors
I'd like to see this too because I'm told by, some people, that irreversable bonds are not acceptable, even where specificly allowed by code.
Edit: Of course you need the correct crimper?

Re: #4 bare CU irreversible connectors
The most common compression connector used for splicing or taping solid ground wire is a C-Tap. This will require a special die or a hand held tool.

Re: #4 bare CU irreversible connectors
Allen, the picture I posted was from Burndy but any of the compression connector manufactures should have them. Call your supply house and tell them you are looking for a C-Tap rated for #4 solid (tap and run) and they should be able to find one. You might try Graybar or Grainger since there computer systems will show if any branches have them. The Graninger part number is 3LM32.

Re: #4 bare CU irreversible connectors
I think cadweld is even making these type of products now. Its easy to see why if you have ever had two much moisture in your cad weld when its been fired off. Its amazing how many people don't know how dangerous a cadweld can be if its done wrong! There is a lot of risk out there for a electrical contractor.

Re: #4 bare CU irreversible connectors
Sam, these are listed "irreversible" compression connectors so they should meet the requirements of 250.64(C).
Allen, Grainger also hase a mechanical tool(3LT16) including the dies for thes connectors if you don't have a tool. I'm sure you could get better prices than Grainger but probably not get the items as fast. This is going to be a pretty expensive splice if you have to buy a compression tool.
