INTRODUCTIONThe BURNDY WEJTAP System componentsare designed to provide the most reliable con-nections available, with safer and easierinstallations.
The system consists of a WEJTAP connector,WEJTAP installation tools and power-boosters.
The detailed information on power-boosters,installation tools and accessories follows.
The BURNDY WEJTAP connector uses analuminum alloy wedge that is power-drivenbetween the run and tap cables locking theminto a "C" shaped aluminum alloy spring-body.
A wiping action takes place during installationbetween the conductors and Wedge whichprovides additional cleaning of surface oxidesto supplement wire brushing. In addition, thecontact grooves are lined with a patentedPENETROX™ oxide inhibiting compound toenhance superior contact surface integrity.
The Wedge is automatically locked onto thespring-body by a skiving action produced by alance located at the forward end of the instal-lation tool.
During the life of the connection, the spring-body continues to maintain pressure toensure a reliable connection.
THE WEJTAP™CONNECTOR• Tested to NEMA and CSA Class A heat
cycle requirements to ensure long termreliability.
• Accommodates a full range of run and tapconductors from #8 to 1590 ACSR in allcommonly used conductors to meet theneeds of electrical distribution systems.
• Color-coded connector, boosters, andtools to assist the installer to make thecorrect selection.
• "Run locator" chamfer is machined intothe Wedge at the end of the "large" grooveto provide positive visual or/and hand con-tact identification of the large run groovefor correct installation.
• Removable design allows tap removalwith minimum conductor damage.
• Tool embosses BURNDY identifier on endof Wedge to provide system identification.

WEJTAP™ ANDTEST DATAWEJTAP™ connectors have been subjectedto extensive tests simulating the most severeservice and weather conditions. In addition,the WEJTAP™ system meets or exceeds theindustry standards of ANSI C119.4 Class 3,NEMA CC3 1973 Class A 500 Heat Cycles.
As with all BURNDY connectors, the WEJ-TAP™ has been designed to operate coolerthan the attached conductors. The WEJ-TAP™ connectors have also been subjectedto the ASTM B117-73 Salt Spray Test. Theresults are shown to the right.

WEJTAP™
Spring-bodies are color-coded and thewedges are marked with nominal conductorrun and tap ranges. WEJTAP™ connectorpackages are labeled with a variety of com-mon conductors with their nominal ranges.
• WEJTAP™ connector wedges are markedwith nominal ACSR. Aluminum and Copperconcentric standard conductors.
• Red WEJTAP™ connector range Run 8-1/0Tap 8-2
• Blue WEJTAP™ connector range Run2-300 Tap 6-300
• Yellow WEJTAP™ connector range Run266.8-1590 Tap 6-1590
All WEJTAP™ wedges contain a clearlydefined chamfer on the large end of the runconductor groove to identify the "large run"groove. Installers will appreciate the conve-nience of visual or hand identification forcorrect wedge positioning.
WEJTAP™ wedges are driven between therun and tap conductors and activate thespring characteristics of the "C" shaped body.This action maintains contact pressure evenwhen the connection is subjected to severeclimatic and electrical conditions.
