Hubbell Incorporated HBLTW Tapping Tee Female-Female-Male White

SKU CH-17KY-2973K

A white thermoplastic elastomer tapping tee rated for 600 V AC and 250 V DC with female-female-male connections

  • Color familyWhite
  • NEMA 12, 3R, 4X rated for harsh environments
  • 600 V AC / 250 V DC rating handles heavy-duty circuits
  • Thermoplastic elastomer body resists impact and chemicals
  • Female-Female-Male layout enables quick branch connections
  • cUL and UL listed to UL1691 safety standards

Application and fit

This Hubbell HBLTW tapping tee provides a female-female-male branch connection rated for 600 V AC and 250 V DC at up to 300 A AC or 400 A DC. It suits installers who need a single-pole, taper-nose junction in white thermoplastic elastomer that meets UL 1691 and carries cUL and UL listings. Builders who require a different pole count, colour coding or a non-taper nose should select another fitting.

Thermals noise and power

The connector body is moulded from thermoplastic elastomer and contains brass conductors, so it adds no active cooling requirement and generates no audible noise. Normal operation stays within the 300 A AC or 400 A DC rating without derating for the NEMA 12, 3R and 4X environmental seals. The device itself draws no power and imposes no thermal load on the raceway.

Included hardware and compliance

Supplied as a single white unit, the tee arrives ready to install with no additional lugs, screws or software. Its UL 1691 construction and cUL/UL certifications confirm suitability for Series 16 single-pole taper-nose systems, simplifying inspection approvals. Projects needing multi-pole blocks, alternative NEMA ratings or coloured identifiers must source separate components.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Hubbell HBLTW tapping tee and what step do people get wrong?

Insert each stripped conductor into the female ports and the male nose into the mating device; the common error is not fully seating the taper-nose male end, which breaks the 600 V AC / 250 V DC rating.

What maintenance or replacement will the HBLTW tapping tee need later?

Inspect the thermoplastic elastomer body and brass conductors for cracking or corrosion; replace the tee if the NEMA 12, 3R, 4X seal degrades or after any over-current event above 300 A AC / 400 A DC.

What limit appears first on the HBLTW tapping tee under sustained use?

The 300 A AC / 400 A DC continuous current rating is the first limit reached; exceeding it overheats the brass conductors before the 600 V AC voltage ceiling becomes a factor.
