UL Listed Service Side Connectors

Luckily, non of the jurisdictions I work in are enforcing that. I have a 600 amp meter group I’m working on now that has 3-200 amp services and overhead drop. Building was built in the late 1800’s. Existing service is very ugly with sagging, poorly strapped (about every 15’) pvc conduit on a wall done back in the late 90’s.

It's so hard to choose "#1 dumbest most frustrating code change ever" but this would be near the top. So glad I can now get connectors suitable for use on the line side for my fisher Price resi service with 4k of fault current. I'll probably choose ones that don't meet the requirement for my load side commercial service that has 65k 🤣. /rant

And the 100’s of thousands used on strip center meter groups with no problems. Wonder who came up with that dumb idea? I can remember going from split bolts to clamshells back in the 80’s, and thought that was better than sliced bread! LOL!

You, must obey your "Masters" ...
 
Ive been really loving blackburn WR series H taps. The seven connector program does almost any combination up to 2 250s with two dies, Cu or AL. Many people think of them as being for aerial/service drop type of applications, but I use them everywhere. Here is an example.

Looks like Ilsco and Polaris have some connectors listed.

Could anyone find a specific connector? If so please post the part number or link.
