Overview

The ABB Installation Products 22L010 Connector Insulation Piercing Splice is a direct-burial, maintenance-free solution for joining copper (.70x.78) and aluminum (52,136-124,561 AL) conductors without stripping insulation. Designed for 69,750-173,090 circular mils copper or equivalent aluminum, this splice eliminates the need for traditional crimping or bolting, reducing installation time by up to 70% compared to conventional methods. The piercing technology ensures a gas-tight, corrosion-resistant connection that maintains conductivity over the full conductor range. The splice body is constructed from tin-plated copper alloy, providing long-term resistance to environmental stress and minimizing oxidation risks. The .70x.78 profile matches standard utility and industrial cable configurations, making it compatible with overhead and underground distribution systems. Key applications include secondary distribution networks, street lighting circuits, and industrial power feeds where rapid, reliable splicing is critical. The splice meets UL 486A-B standards for mechanical and electrical performance, ensuring compliance with utility-grade requirements. No special tools are required—installation is completed using a standard hot stick or insulated pliers.
