ilsco makes a multi-tap fitting that may work.

i've used some that, if i remember correctly, were 4/0-to-#4.

if they don't have one that will drop to #14, you might could use a reducer past the tap fitting.


the ones i ordered were a two-piece design; it could be attached to an already installed conductor. it had a smaller lug attached to the side for your tap conductor.

Maybe I could help if I had any idea of what you are talking about.:confused:

Are you referring to the potential tap in the drawing?


MAybe you could try this?

thanks brant...i didn't think to check if the insulation piercing taps went down small enough....Ilsco ICP-4/0-6 will take a 3/0 run and a #14-#6 tap...

that'll work...but I like the screw better.......

You think that PSE&G would at least be able to correctly label their drawing. It certainly doesn't look like an "underground" service to me. :rolleyes:
