How its done

This is how we mitigate the dangers of aluminum wiring

Demo

We start out by removing the old devices, in preparation to crimp copper onto the existing aluminum branch circuit

Crimp

Then we use a full compression crimp connection called a COPALUM™ crimp made by AMP Incorporated (a division of TYCO) to permanently solve the Aluminum issues

Replace

Similar to the outlet above, each switch, outlet, light, and other device is either restored to its original position or replaced with a new device if the existing one fails to meet National Electrical Code

Why does this work?

The COPALUM™ Crimp repair consists of attaching (pigtailing) a piece of copper wire to the existing aluminum wire branch circuit. These connections use a compression tool to fix the crimp. This process squeezes the conductor metal through small holes breaking down the oxidation layer and sealing the internal metal from any further oxygen contact

COPALUM™ Crimping is the only method considered a permanent repair by the US Consumer Product Safety Commission (CPSC), when applied to every aluminum electrical connection.

Demonstration crimp

Now we have cut through the crimp to illustrate what happens to the aluminum and copper wires that have been crimped. The aluminum wire is now cold-welded to the copper wire creating a single wire that mitigates fire hazards effectively.

This is the primary reason that COPALUM™ crimping is considered a permanent repair.
