The COPALUM re-termination process for repairing the
terminal end
deficiencies in old technology aluminum branch wiring is the highest rated
CPSC (Consumer Product Safety Commission) recommended repair available.
From the mid 60s to early 70s, many homes, townhomes, condominiums,
and commercial buildings were wired using aluminum Romex branch wiring,
which was a recognized and accepted installation method at the time.
Although, the current carrying characteristics of Aluminum wire itself are
still safe today, the termination points, through years of use, commonly
become loose and cause arcing which can create a fire hazard.
The COPALUM re-termination process corrects the loosening of the
terminal ends by mechanically fusing the aluminum wire to a piece of solid
copper wire which can be safely connected to the intended switch,
receptacle or appliance.
Advantages of using the COPALUM process include:
● Less than 1/3 the cost
of rewiring
● Days, not weeks of
repair work
● Less disruption to the
structure
● Less inconvenience to
the homeowner
Large projects such as condominium complexes, neighborhood developments
or office complexes can benefit from economy of scale purchasing. Please
