Tracer-Lock Connector
Tracer-Lock Connector is a direct bury, self-stripping, locking connector system used for corrosion proof and watertight connections to underground tracer wire systems. Our innovative and unique design allows the connector to be installed as an “in-line”, “lateral” or “splice” connector and doesn’t require you to strip the tracer wire.
- Durable one-piece connector made from polycarbonate.
- Threaded screw with shear nut securely closes and strips wire.
- High temperature and impact resistance for reliability.
- Works with sizes 18 thru 8 AWG. Sizes can be mixed or matched
- Anti-oxide compound ensures corrosion resistance and good electrical continuity.
- Compatible with copper, copper-clad steel (CCS), and stainless steel tracer wire.

Installation
Step #1
Loosen the Shear Head Nut to open up the Connector.
Step #2 Side-Tap
Position Side B of the connector at the desired location of the tracer main. Insert un-stripped end of lateral wire completely into Side A. Hand tighten to hold wires in place. ST
Step #2 Splice
Insert un-stripped end of tracer wire completely into Side A. Insert un-stripped end of new tracer wire into Wire Sleeve, then position into Side B. Hand tighten to hold wires in place.
Step #3
After wires are in place, use a 1/2” (13mm) socket wrench or drill. At 70lbs/in torque, the Shear Head Nut will break away.
