The tee connector is fabricated from AFL seamless drawn aluminum. The run portion incorporates an improved design of interlocking extrusions, providing a permanent grip on the conductor when compressed. The branch portion of the tee connector is designed for limited tension use, maintaining a minimum of 40% of the ASTM rated strength of the conductor on which it is being used. For die size sections 30AH and above, the end tapers of the compression portions of all compression accessories are supplied with a high voltage finish.
