Hubbell Wiring Device-Kellems Unveils the Market’s Fastest-Terminating Device
To improve installation time by more than 80% on electrical
projects, Hubbell Wiring Device-Kellems has designed the new Twist-Lock®
Edge Series Receptacle featuring screwless terminations. It’s the
market’s fastest-terminating receptacle, letting installers get more
done in less time.
Instead of using screws
at termination points, a strong levered spring within the device
continues to apply pressure as strands relax over time, keeping wires
tight.
Any technician can quickly complete
the installation by hand – no torque screwdrivers or wrenches are
needed to secure the termination. Simply insert the wires, press the
plunger, and watch the spring grab and secure the wires.
With
this new termination method, NEC code 110.14(D) “Terminal connection
torque” for requiring the use of a torque driver to secure the
terminations is no longer applicable.
Not
only is the Twist-Lock Edge Series Receptacle easy to install, but it
also provides a consistent, reliable connection – even in harsh
environments that experience vibration, temperature cycling, or strand
relaxation due to prolonged strain.
“Hubbell continues to innovate one of its foundational product lines,” says Mike Williams, Sr. Product Manager for Hubbell Wiring Device-Kellems. “Imagine the time savings when a task that typically takes at least one minute can be trimmed down to 11 seconds or less.”
