Wear Plates reduce mechanical abrasion of molds at cable entry points and help prevent leakage of molten metal (particularly on larger 7 strand conductor). These features prolong mold life.

Most CADWELD Molds are available with factory mounted Wear Plates for the following sizes:

Copper Cable: 1/0 AWG thru 500 Kcmil
DSA Copperweld®: 7/#10 thru 19/#6
Ground Rods: 1/2" thru 1"
To order WEAR PLATES, specify: Mold Part No. followed by the suffix "-W" i.e., TAC-2Q2Q-W.
Not available with types HA, HB, HC, LJ, certain PTs & PCs, RR, VB, VF, VG, VN, XA, XBQ or XBZ.
