General recommendations
Service-Grip dead-ends, manufactured from aluminum clad steel and copper clad steel wire, are designed for the termination of bare aluminum and copper based conductors used for house service connections. The dead-end is recommended for house service by reason of minimum length, maximum economy and neat appearance.
