Conex’s Aluminium Bolted Lugs Busbar Pipe Tee Connectors are engineered for secure and efficient electrical connections in power distribution and busbar systems, offering superior durability.
High-quality Aluminium Bolted Lugs Busbar Pipe Tee Connectors by Conex, delivering reliable and secure electrical connections for industrial and utility applications.
At Conex Aluminium Components, we manufacture **Aluminium Bolted Lugs Busbar Pipe Tee Connectors** designed for efficient and durable electrical connections in busbar and power distribution systems. Crafted from high-grade aluminium, these connectors ensure excellent conductivity, corrosion resistance, and mechanical strength. Suitable for industrial, commercial, and utility applications, they are designed for easy installation and long-lasting performance. Conex offers a variety of sizes and configurations, along with customization options, to meet specific project requirements, ensuring exceptional quality and reliability.
They are bolted connectors used in substations and switchyards to connect tubular (pipe) busbars, flat busbars and conductors to each other or to equipment terminals. Tee connectors create branch connections from a main pipe bus.
Pipe bus connectors are made for aluminium tubes from about 1 in to 6 in IPS (approx. 33–168 mm OD), in Schedule 40 and Schedule 80 wall thicknesses, and for metric tube sizes.
Connectors are cast from high-conductivity aluminium alloys such as A356 or LM6, or machined from 6061-T6 or 6063-T6, matching the conductivity and expansion of 6063/6101 busbar tubes.
Substation connectors are commonly designed to IEEE 837 (for welded connections), NEMA CC1 (electric power connectors for substations) and ANSI C119.4 for mechanical performance.
They are clamped with stainless steel or hot-dip galvanized U-bolts or bolts and Belleville washers, providing high contact pressure on the tube circumference.
Current rating depends on connector cross-section and contact area; connectors are typically designed to carry at least the rating of the connected conductor while running cooler than it, as required by NEMA CC1.
Yes, with tin-plated or bi-metallic designs and appropriate inhibitor compound to prevent galvanic corrosion.
Rigid connectors hold the bus firmly, while expansion connectors include flexible braids or laminations to accommodate thermal expansion of long bus runs.
Tests include temperature rise, heat-cycle, short-circuit and mechanical pull-out tests according to NEMA CC1 or customer specifications.
Yes. Aluminium connectors with stainless or galvanized hardware resist atmospheric corrosion in outdoor substations.
NEMA two- and four-hole patterns with 1-3/4 in spacing and IEC patterns are available, with custom patterns to drawing.
Yes. Contact surfaces should be cleaned and coated with an oxide-inhibiting compound before assembly.
Yes. Custom tees, elbows, terminal pads and support connectors can be produced to drawing.
MOQ is 10 pieces. Samples are typically available in 2–3 weeks and production in 4–6 weeks.
Please send tube sizes and schedules, connector type, terminal pad pattern, current rating, applicable standard and quantity.
