    Thumbs up slow taps

    Hot line clamps, Slow taps, hot taps...

    Always made up on stirups unless on copper.

    The name slow tap comes from the old spring type taps being fast and the new more realiable when actually tightend down slow taps or hot line clamps

    Hot line clamp or live line clamp, for us duck bill clamps are used on grounds or jumpers and have a higher ampacity than live line clamps.
