Splicer blocks
Catalog number example:
16204-3 is a 3-pole 16204
Where:
•ꢀ
The prefix “16204” defines the block’s lineside
and loadside characteristics (i.e., conductor port
per pole that accepts 2/0 - #14 Cu, or 2/0 - #12
Al conductors).
•ꢀ
The suffix “3” in this example defines this as a
three-pole block.
•ꢀ
See the catalog number tables for details on the
available lineside/loadside characteristics.
How to order:
From the catalog number tables, select the catalog
number that defines the desired lineside/loadside
port and conductor characteristics.
Add to the catalog number the suffix that defines
the desired pole configuration. Note, you must
select from the available number of poles for
each catalog number. These appear in the second
column of the catalog number tables.
