Way back when put in the feedlot and wired the waterers for the heaters,
Dad used a crimp-on connector that went around (stripped section ~1"
long) 4 GA AL feed and allowed a #14 to #10 pigtail to be joined for the
individual boxes without having to cut the main feeder.

I'm needing to add a new connection and can't find anything similar nor
think of exactly what to call it to search...anybody got a clue or lead
to one?

I'd really like to not have to insert a splice...

Probably not a Home Depot thing but any real electrical supply will
have them

Well, that's pretty strong assumption for the one supply here in town...

I can't tell for sure; those by the figure look to be inserted both ends

excepting they don't seem to have the smaller conductor tap option.

I couldn't think of the "H-tap" description before; and to my surprise
they did actually have some on hand so I'm all set here after dinner...

I was just trying to get you into the catalog. The Kupl Tap does
separate to go over existing conductors.

And it is insulated, requiring only a wrench.
