DUAL RATED
SPLICER/REDUCER
A-30
For Copper and
Aluminum Cable
All splicer/reducers are dual rated for 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
• Large screw diameters.
• All connectors are tin-plated.
◊ Provide low contact resistance and
prevents galvanic corrosion.
• Connectors feature rounded bottoms.
◊ Facilitates taping.
◊ Ensures greater surface contact with
wires for maximum pullout force.
• Large cable ranges.
◊ Each splice is also an effective
reducing connector.
• Solid center barrier.
◊ Prevents contact of dissimilar metals.
