| | | The Thomas & Betts Method is Better. The Thomas & Betts method of installing compression connectors on power cables is designed to provide a high degree of reliability in electrical wiring. This method allows electrical workers to make installations with little effort and at a considerable savings in time. The benefit, of course, is a high quality connection at a low installed cost. | | |

| | | Just Four Easy Steps to a Perfect Connection! | | |
| | | |
| | | Step 1 | | |
| | | |
| | | Strip the insulation carefully to avoid nicking or cutting conductors (wire brush if required). | | |
| | | |
| | | Strands Cut | | |
| | | |
| | | Strip the insulation to the proper length so that conductors can be fully inserted into the connector barrel. | | |

| | | |
| | | Strip Length Just Right | | |
| | | |
| | | Step 2 | | |
| | | |
| | | Determine the proper Color-Keyed®Connector for the cable size being used. Connectors are marked to show cable size. | | |
| | | |
| | | Cable Size | | |
| | | |
| | | Connectors marked with just cable size or CU should be used on copper conductors only. Connectors marked "AL9"* with the cable size should be used on aluminum conductors only. Connectors marked "AL9CU" with the cable size may be used on the aluminum or copper conductors. | | |
