Good stuff John, I use electrical grease. But I had no clue why. Electricians I ask have no answers either. You very simply answered the why and how benifits. I did not know about the value of cleaning . Thanks John, I do now. . I also did not know that grease displaces the oxygen. . It is surprising in the do it your self age how much we should know. Yet we don't know very much. You informed me of that for certain. I am going to check out that recommended author you mentioned in another post.
Thank you so much for the videos. Now I don't have to bug my electrician friend about this stuff when he is not supposed to be working. I tried to go to the websites and noticed they are down. If it was a hassle to run them, I know other RUclips guys I watch link an Amazon page. I am not certain, but I don't believe you have to maintain it, and you get a percentage of things purchased there or anywhere on Amazon they go to. Even if you don't need the money, it might help people and put the money towards something. Thanks again.
The company you are referring to is Burndy. It was founded by a fellow by the name of Bern Dibner who is alleged to have signed drawings as Bern D, hence the name of the company.
So those handy LED flashlights with aluminum cases are really unreliable ( I believe ) because the return path is thru the case which is three pieces threaded together. Those threaded junctions are all vulnerable to oxidation and before long the flashlight is flickering. Cleaning the threads helps but I'm guessing adding that conductive grease might just be the answer.
Great presentation John. I am in the Philippines and cannot obtain any Burndy Split bolts of any kind . So I have made my own split bolts from stainless steel bolts because Brass or copper bolts cannot be found. These split bolts have been deburred to smooth but I am not sure what the reaction will be between the aluminum and stainless steel . No Noalox cannot be found here. Here the standard is to just wrap one wire around the other wire the best you can and tape it. I have had to have a few of theses repaired already . looking for an opinion .
Thanks John. Might there be a better splice option than a split bolt (and not too expensive) for use on a 3/4 hp 50 amp DC motor being used on a jet fuel truck? A split bolt was in place on the old motor but I would like something more secure if possible.
Grease DeoxIT Grease Type L260 -Lithium-based preparation. Good lubrication, excellent wear resistance, excellent pressure resistance, excellent oxidation (galvanic corrosion) protection, high dripping-point characteristics. Operating temperatures L260: -40C to 260C Copper particles L260Cp Lithium-based preparation. Use when you require particles (conductive) to assist in oxide and corrosion breakup and good lubrication. Copper is conductive. Use in areas that two contacts will not touch and possibly short. Example: disconnect switches or large connectors and relays. USES - Electrical: Antenna connections, battery terminals, Buss bars, commutators, conductor rails, conductors, contactors, disconnects, drying & processing equipment, high amperage/high voltage applications, industrial electrical equipment (lifts, cranes, robotics, etc.), power tools, relays & switches (heavy duty, knife, step, rotary), etc. Sorry just had back surgery, not up to speed yet.

great video-thankyou. Would you recommend the split bolt to extend a #4 ground in a crawlspace? If so, is it necessary to use the two different tapes in a crawlspace? Also, a retired 40-year electrician friend, said that it should be torqued to specs. Thanks again.
Nowhere have I found someone who says that the max is two wires or three wires in a split bolt configuration. It is a egregious & sad when someone expects you to have known this. Treat all instruction as to a new guy please.
Yenzuri: you spell surgury with an E. Small e. You may want to get that bugger picking typing finger looked at before you send in your medical resume to a future employer. I think your finger is out of align.

Great point discussing oxidation.
I have always wondered if torque specs should be followed when making up split bolt connections.
Thanks.

Great explanation! Thank you John!
Great Chanel. Thank you John

Thank you John. This helped immensely. I have to replace a Burndy on an outdoor ground for the telephone line.
Keep on keeping on. Glen, N0QFT
how can i do irreversible crimp bare copper for a ground wire
Good information
Great video..! Thank you sir..
Awesome!
Burndy, not Brundy, but you knew that...
Do you still use grease when using the tinned ones for use with al + cu?
Sure, cuts the electrolysis down.
Is this good for aluminum to aluminum for 2 gauge 100amp power?

I have copper grease so will try it and let you know.
STOP making a big deal out of nothing
Thanks! Newbie here. I got confused when you said "now we need to lock it down and I didn't". Did you skip that?

Great
I’ve already got Noalox on hand. Could I use that even though no aluminum is involved?
sure

Try, Polaris or Morris insulated splice connectors. JS
Where do you buy that grease?
ruclips.net/video/IS46G_WoKWA/видео.html. JS
Where do I get a "wisp"? I have tried Googling the term.
Go to Buss Kit.com or Shookelectric.com John.
Is dielectric grease the same thing?
Thanks!

Would it be fair to say that Split Bolt connectors are more durable and can handle more amperage than a wire nut connection?
Yes they are if applied correctly. JS

Jon ur videos always freeze!! Is it me..hah
John, if your still alive, go see an ENT, (Ear Nose & Throat), doctor about "turbinate surgury". Your nasal AIRWAYS are BLOCKED.

Been using split bolts for years. STOP making a big deal out of nothing use the right size right tork.
