Hubbell HBLTBK Tapping Tee 400A 600V

This Hubbell HBLTBK tapping tee provides a 400 A, 600 V connection point in a black thermoplastic elastomer housing. The device uses a female-male-female gender configuration with brass contacts. It carries NEMA 12, 3R and 4X enclosure ratings for indoor and outdoor use.

Replaces worn or missing Series 16 tapping tees

The tee is compatible with Series 16 components and restores a reliable 400 A branch connection. The jump is worth it when an existing fitting shows heat damage, corrosion or a cracked housing that compromises the NEMA 4X seal. Brass contacts ensure low-resistance current transfer at the full 400 A rating.

Verify Series 16 compatibility and temperature range

Confirm that your installation uses Series 16 hardware so the gender configuration matches. The operating range spans -40 °C to 75 °C, so ensure ambient conditions stay within these limits. Check that the 600 V AC/DC rating suits your circuit voltage before ordering.

Questions about this item

What enclosure ratings does the HBLTBK tapping tee carry for mounting in wet or dusty locations?

The tee is rated NEMA 12, 3R and 4X, so it can be mounted in indoor industrial, outdoor rain-tight and wash-down environments without additional sealing.

How do you install the tee on a Series 16 busway, and what step is often missed?

Align the female-female-male contacts with the Series 16 slots, torque the mounting hardware to the busway manufacturer's specification, then verify the ground strap is bonded — the bonding step is frequently overlooked.

What temperature range should I plan for when the tee operates at its 400 A rating?

The device is rated for continuous operation from -40 °C to 75 °C; if ambient conditions exceed this range, the tee must be derated or relocated to stay within limits.
