Lever Edge™ Streamlines Industrial Wiring
As electrical contractors, you know the faster the job is completed, the sooner your installers can move on to the next project, ultimately increasing profits for your company.
Faster. Safer. Smarter.
Gone are the days when installers needed to go through the time-consuming strip, bend and tighten process. Lever Edge products change the industrial wiring game with a patented, color-coded lever-action design. Wires are easily inserted into the device and securely clamped. Few tools are required, and there are no unnecessary steps or exposed metal parts.
Product Manager, Dary Ismail explained, “Lever Edge industrial devices are incredibly user-friendly and offer a robust electrical connection while making the assembly process much easier, faster and safer. There is no risk of a screwdriver nicking a finger when tightening down screws, the new devices prevent that entirely. With Lever Edge, they open the device with their finger, insert the wire and close the lever.”

Contractors love Lever Edge because the products add speed to their installation, which increases ROI for each project while solving some traditional wiring complaints.
