DUAL RATED
SPLICER/REDUCER
For Copper and
Aluminum Cable
All splicer/reducers are dual rated f or use with
aluminum and copper conductors and are
constructed from high strength, tin plated
aluminum. PENTROX™ oxide inhibiting joint
compounds are recommended for all
aluminum applications.
Features and Benefits
•All connectors are tin-plated.
◊Provide low contact resistance and
prevents galvanic corrosion.
•Connectors feature rounded bottoms.
◊Facilitates taping.
•Solid center barrier.
◊Prevents contact of dissimilar metals.
*Slotted Screws. H2 measured with maximum conductors,
reference only.
Complies with NFPA 78-86.
•Large screw diameters.
◊Ensures greater surface contact with
wires for maximum pullout force.
•Large cable ranges.
◊Each splice is also an effective
reducing connector.
