Morris Products 97118 – Black Insulated 2-Conductor Dual-Entry Connector (250 kcmil to #6)
The Morris Products 97118 dual-entry insulated connector is engineered to deliver reliable, professional-grade performance for splicing large conductors in industrial, commercial, and utility applications. Ideal for overhead, underground, and enclosed power distribution systems, this connector features a rugged aluminum body, weather-resistant insulation, and dual entry ports for flexible installation.
Key Features
- Dual-entry design permits cable access from either side — ideal for retrofit, change-outs, or future expansions.
- Constructed of 6061-T6 plated aluminum and dual-rated for use with both copper and aluminum conductors (CU/AL).
- Insulated with a high-dielectric rubber/vinyl coating for durability and added protection in demanding environments.
- Prefilled with oxide-inhibitor compound to prevent corrosion and ensure long-term reliability.
- Rated for up to 600 Volts AC (600 VAC) and a temperature range from -49 °F to 194 °F (-45 °C to 90 °C) for harsh-environment applications.
- Connector body is pre-marked with the maximum wire size for quick visual identification on-site.

Applications & Advantages
This connector is optimized for splicing large‐gauge cables in power-distribution environments where reliability and ease of installation are critical. The dual-entry configuration simplifies field wiring by allowing conductors to enter from either side of the connector body, enabling flexibility during system upgrades, retrofits, or maintenance operations.
With the corrosion-inhibiting filler and rugged insulation, the 97118 is well suited for indoor and protected outdoor installations where exposure to moisture, vibration, or thermal cycling may be encountered. The dual-rating (CU/AL) makes it versatile for mixed conductor systems, reducing the need for multiple connector types.
Installation Notes
- Ensure that both conductors are properly inserted one per port and the insulation material is intact before tightening the set screws.
- Use a 5/16″ Allen wrench to tighten set screws to manufacturer-specified torque (refer to installation instructions provided by Morris Products).
- After tightening, verify that the insulator fully covers the aluminum body and that no bare metal is exposed.
- Suitable for use in conduit, trough, cable-tray, underground vaults, and other power distribution environments rated up to 600 V.
Why Choose This Connector?
By selecting the Morris Products 97118, you get a pre-filled, UL/cUL listed connector with built-in corrosion resistance and an insulated body that saves time on taping or additional insulation. The dual-entry design and dual-rated conductor support provide field efficiency and stocking flexibility, making it an excellent choice for electrical contractors, system integrators, and utility maintenance crews.
Note: Always comply with applicable local codes, manufacturer installation instructions, and torque specifications when installing mechanical connectors.
