Joining sections the clean wayA
track lighting system is built from sections of track and the fittings that link them. The
butt connector for track LCTC-I-6101-BN is the fitting used where two sections meet in a straight line, end to end. It turns separate lengths into one continuous run, which is what you want along a long kitchen, a hallway or a shop wall. You may also see it described as a
straight track connector or a track joiner. It is the part that makes a long, uninterrupted line of light possible.
Counting your partsBefore you order, measure the total length of the run and decide how many sections it will take. Every straight joint between two sections needs one butt connector, and each end of the run needs its own fitting: in the LCTC series, the
right end connector for track in the BN version and the
end connector and track plate are among the end pieces available. Choosing all your
track rail components in the same series, with the same version code, is the easiest route to a
uniform look.
Tips for a straight, tidy jointSwitch off the power at the breaker before starting, and have the electrical connections done by a
qualified electrician according to the electrical code of your province. Confirm that the connector suits your track profile. Hold both sections in line, check them with a level, and secure the connector only once the joint is perfectly straight and flush with the ceiling or wall. Take your time here: a well-aligned joint blends into the line of track. When the run is complete, install your
track lighting heads, spacing them so the light covers the whole length evenly.
Projects that call for longer runsIn homes, longer runs of
track lighting are popular above kitchen counters and islands, in long hallways, in open-concept living and dining areas, in basements and above a wall of shelves. In businesses, they light store aisles, merchandise walls, restaurant counters, galleries, studios and open offices. It is also a practical way to light a long reception desk or a bar from end to end. Wherever the space is long, the butt connector lets the track follow it. The connector is designed for
residential and commercial projects, for new builds and renovations alike across Canada.
