Abstract:
A method for connecting first and second elongate conductors using a wedge connector includes: providing a wedge connector including a sleeve member, a wedge member, and a lubricant coating disposed on at least one of the sleeve member and the wedge member, the sleeve member defining a sleeve cavity; mounting the sleeve member on the first and second conductors; and driving the wedge member into the sleeve cavity using a hydraulic power drive tool assembly to secure the wedge connector to each of the first and second conductors.
