Cembre CU COMPRESS. SLVE O/H 16MM2 PT16

Description

Reliable Full-Tension Copper Jointing

Designed for overhead electrical networks, the Cembre CU compression sleeve PT16 provides a dependable solution for joining stranded hard-drawn copper conductors. Manufactured from 99.9% high-conductivity copper, it ensures excellent electrical performance and long-term reliability in demanding field conditions. Engineered to meet AS 1154.1 full-tension testing requirements, it is trusted by electrical contractors working on utility and infrastructure projects.

The sleeve’s internal stop ensures correct conductor insertion depth, while marked compression lines guide accurate crimping every time. This reduces installation errors and improves joint consistency across large-scale works. Compared to traditional jointing methods, it delivers a shorter, neater, and more compact connection without the need for conductor twisting, helping electricians achieve faster, cleaner installations on site.

Fast, Compliant Installation Performance

Installation efficiency is critical for trade professionals, and the PT16 sleeve is designed to support rapid, repeatable crimping using hexagonal dies and HT51 hydraulic crimpers or larger compatible tools. Plastic end plugs protect against contamination before installation, ensuring a clean joint every time. Once crimped, the sleeve forms a mechanically strong and electrically stable connection capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions and high mechanical stress.

Its fully annealed copper construction enhances ductility, allowing secure compression without cracking or deformation. tight deadlines residential, commercial, or industrial projects, this sleeve reduces downtime while maintaining compliance and performance standards by Australian electrical authorities.

Engineered for Australian Network Standards

The PT16 sleeve is widely accepted across Australian utilities including energy providers and rail services, making it suitable for regulated infrastructure projects. With a conductivity rating of 99.7% IACS and operating temperature range from -55°C to 100°C, it performs reliably in extreme environments.

It is ideal for overhead distribution networks requiring durable, high-integrity joints that meet strict safety and compliance requirements. Electrical contractors benefit from a product that integrates seamlessly into standard workflows while ensuring long-term system stability and reduced maintenance needs in the field.
