Questions about this item

Will the 2.18 in split bolt fit alongside the older 8 AWG grounding wire I already have in the panel?

Yes, the connector accepts 8 to 2 AWG stranded and 10 to 1 AWG solid conductors, so your existing 8 AWG wire falls within the listed range.

How can I confirm the K2C23 is torqued correctly after installation?

Tighten the bolt to 80 in-lb using a calibrated torque wrench; the mechanical connection is then set to the manufacturer's specified value.

Does the package include any washers or anti-oxidant compound, or must I buy them separately?

The split bolt connector is supplied as a single bronze unit; no washers, compounds or additional hardware are included in the box.
