Engineered for reliability in professional electrical installations, the Panduit CTAPF2-12-C Copper Compression Tap delivers secure tapping into unbroken main lines with premium conductivity. This 100-piece pack is designed for installers, maintenance teams, and service operations that demand consistent performance, dependable joints, and fast, repeatable results. The CTAPF2-12-C employs high-grade copper compression technology to minimize contact resistance and maximize electrical efficiency across demanding environments, from panel boards and distribution enclosures to service entrances and industrial wiring closets. Its robust design supports solid and stranded copper Code conductors, enabling tapping into main runs as a wire joint or two-way splice with confidence. In addition to electrical performance, the taps are built for durability, providing stable connections that resist loosening due to vibration, thermal cycling, or mechanical stress. This makes the CTAPF2-12-C an ideal choice for both new installations and field maintenance where reliability and long-term integrity are critical.

  • Premium copper compression tap design: Delivers low contact resistance and superior conductivity, ensuring efficient power transfer and dependable performance under load. The copper construction also offers excellent corrosion resistance, contributing to long service life in challenging environments and in conditions where moisture or humidity is a consideration. The result is a reliable, low-impedance connection that helps electrical systems run cooler and more efficiently, reducing energy loss over time.
  • Solid and stranded copper Code conductor compatibility: The CTAPF2-12-C is optimized for use with both solid and stranded copper Code conductors, enabling tapping into unbroken main lines as a wire joint or two-way splice. This versatility simplifies material planning and reduces the need for multiple different tap sizes on site. By accommodating a wide range of conductor configurations, it supports quick, flexible installations without compromising joint integrity or electrical performance.
  • Wide wire range-taking capability for streamlined inventories: The design accommodates an expansive conductor range, enabling installers to manage fewer part numbers without sacrificing connection quality. This broad compatibility helps contractors and facilities teams optimize inventory, reduce stocking costs, and speed up project timelines. With a reliable compression mechanism and consistent seating, you can count on uniform performance across different conductor sizes and applications.
  • Secure crimp-based connection for reliability in the field: The CTAPF2-12-C uses a proven crimp-based compression process that yields uniform, vibration-resistant joints. Crimping provides consistent compression force, minimizes the risk of loosening from mechanical shocks or thermal cycling, and supports repeatable results across multiple installations. This reliability is especially valuable in environments with ongoing vibration, equipment movement, or frequent temperature changes.
  • Value-packed pack size for bulk projects: Each order contains 100 pieces, offering a cost-effective solution for large-scale deployments, maintenance programs, or manufacturing environments where high-volume taps are routine. The 100-piece pack ensures you have ample taps on hand for ongoing work, reducing downtime and enabling fast, efficient installations without frequent reorders. Panduit’s quality assurance accompanies every pack to help you meet project timelines with confidence.

How to install Panduit CTAPF2-12-C Copper Compression Tap

  • Power down the circuit and verify it is de-energized before beginning installation. Safety first ensures accurate crimping and protects personnel and equipment.
  • Select the CTAPF2-12-C tap appropriate for the conductor and project requirements. Confirm that the conductor type (solid or stranded copper Code conductors) and size fall within the tap’s compatibility range.
  • Prepare the conductors by cutting to the required length and, if needed, deburring the ends. Remove any insulation according to Panduit guidelines to expose a clean conductor finish ready for compression.
  • Insert the conductor fully into the compression tap seat, ensuring proper alignment with the crimping interface. Use a Panduit-recommended crimping tool and the correct die to achieve full seating and uniform compression.
  • Apply the crimp with consistent pressure until the joint fully seats and seats with a uniform, smooth appearance. Inspect the joint for proper compression and signs of misalignment, then perform a continuity check and insulation verification to confirm a secure, high-integrity connection.

Style: MULTIBALM, Style: MULTIBALM
This moisturizing stick is incredible. This is by far the best beauty product I have tried. I had a noticeable difference in my skins appearance in just a couple days. Week 2 my skin is brighter, clearer, softer, bouncier, and just looks overall more healthy. I have tried numerous products for day and night time. I have been using the multi balm stick twice a day and am so impressed. I wait a few minutes to apply make up as it needs a bit to soak in but I was happy it does work well under your make up. Also has a light sweet fragrance with no irritation.

Convenient Hydrating Balm for Quick Touch-Ups
Style: MULTIBALM
Really enjoying this balm stick so far. It’s super convenient to toss in a bag and easy to apply throughout the day whenever my skin feels dry or needs a little glow. It glides on smoothly and gives a hydrated, dewy look without feeling heavy. I especially like using it on dry areas and around fine lines for a quick refresh. The packaging feels nice quality too. Great skincare item for easy on-the-go use.

I don’t often leave reviews, but this exceeded my expectations and I LOVE it!!! I NEEDED it!
Style: MULTIBALM
I don’t review things unless they REALLY “wow” me, rare, lol. My eyes had been watering for about a month from allergies, then last week my eyeballs were literally hurting so badly, which that had never happened to me before. So I got eye drops made with ketotifen (from the Walmart App) and it got rid of the pain in my eyeballs and stopped symptoms immediately, thank goodness. Then, from the constant watering, rubbing, dabbing and wiping my eyes, alll above, below and around my eyes became raw and chapped, burning and painful. I tried everything! Aquaphore, Goldbond, Pili Ani, and a lot of other brand name high quality face washes, moisturizers, masks, creams, oils and nothing was helping and some seemed to make it even worse. I saw this product and after reading the reviews, decided to give this one last shot before going to a Dermatologist. The moment I applied it, I felt INSTANT relief and soothing. I also was surprised to literally feel it tighten the skin! This morning I woke up to use it, day 3, and before I did I noticed my skin was so much better!!!…No longer painful, discolored or swollen & puffy, the skin was still silky soft from applying it last night, and my orbital skin is 97% better!!! The pink/red/purple has gone away, it’s no longer tender/burns to the touch, and you can literally feel it nourishing and tightening your skin. After begging, my husband let me try it on his skin (lol) just to make sure I wasn’t going koo koo. He noticed too! And commented about how soft it is! Yes~Exactly! It makes your skin like SILK! It is a tad oily when you first put it on, but it “settles” quickly into a gentle softness and doubles as a primer before you apply your makeup! It smooths out your pores and makes your skin so smooth. Just this morning was the first time I applied makeup with it and was pleasantly surprised. I have tested it putting it on the top of one hand and nothing on the other, timed an hour and WOWWWWW the difference in undeniable! I personally recommend using it after washing your face before you put anything else on (moisturizer, makeup, etc). As long as you give it 10-15 minutes to let it absorb and settle, you’re good to go with or without makeup! I’m just really glad I found this because that skin is so sensitive and NEEDS this type of care. This product gets a solid 5 stars from me and I’m excited to make it part of my morning and evening routines! : )

Excellent Formula, but the Product Runs Out Far Too Quickly
Style: MULTIBALM
The balm is genuinely hydrating, smooth, and very convenient to use. It applies beautifully, gives the skin a healthy glow, and works well on dry areas, lips, and the face overall. The texture feels comfortable and nourishing without feeling overly heavy or greasy. My only major disappointment is the value for the price. Even using a very thin layer across the face once each evening, one stick lasted only about a week. I purchased two of them, and both were exactly the same, so this was clearly not an issue with a defective or partially filled tube. If you intend to use it regularly over the full face, expect it to run out extremely quickly. I purchased mine during a significant sale, and even at the discounted price I still felt disappointed by how little use I got from it. Overall, the formula performs well, but the quantity does not justify the regular price for consistent daily use.

Youthful, even skin!
Style: MULTIBALM
I’m loving this stick! I almost sent it back after the first two days but I’m so glad I didn’t. This has really helped me look more refreshed. It’s def helped with shallow lines. Overall it’s made me skin more even. It’s very oily and it sits on your skin so I use it before bed. But I’ve noticed it’s helped balance my skin. I usually get really oily during the day but oddly as oily as this is it keeps my skin from getting oily during the day under my makeup. My makeup looks more even. It’s just overall been great for my skin and it’s made me look younger. Def recommend!
