How to install Panduit Wire Basket Bolted Style Splice

• Prepare the joint area by cleaning and aligning the wire basket ends to ensure a flush, gap-free connection before installing the splice.
• Position the bolted style splice across the joint, aligning the mounting holes with the basket struts and ensuring the splice rests squarely to avoid misalignment during tightening.
• Insert the bolts and corresponding hardware, then snug them to hold the splice in place without distortion—follow Panduit installation guidelines for torque or clamping recommendations.
• Tighten the bolts securely to complete the bond and ensure a continuous metal path across the joint, which is essential for achieving a UL bond when required.
• Conduct a final inspection to verify that the splice is seated correctly, that there is no gap at the joint, and that bonding continuity is maintained—re-tighten if necessary after system testing or vibration exposure.
