Ripley UtilityTool US08 Square-Cut PV Wire Bushing US08-73075 - 4/0 AWG, 2kV Aluminum

The Ripley Tools US08-73075 is a precision-sized, square-cut interchangeable bushing for stripping 2kV aluminum PV (photovoltaic/solar) wire at the 4/0 AWG conductor size. It snaps directly into the WS-22, WS-22A, or WS-22 SNAP Series tool bodies, presetting the cutting blade to the exact jacket depth for that conductor size - no blade adjustment required. Compared to knife-based jacket removal, the US08 bushing delivers a cleaner, more consistent square cut while significantly reducing the risk of nicking the aluminum conductor.

The US08 bushing series spans 17 sizes from #8 AWG through 1000 kcmil, each sized to its specific PV wire diameter so technicians can quickly swap bushings on the same WS-22 tool body to handle multiple conductor sizes on a job. The 4/0 AWG size is part of Ripley's Longhorn (UA01-7086), Atlantic (UA01-7087) and Complete (UA01-7088) PV Wire Stripping Kits, and it can be added to the Original PV Kit (UA01-7010), which has room for five more bushings - so it is available both as a kit add-on and as a standalone replacement bushing when the original wears out.
