Overview

ABB Installation Products 2729 Copper Full Tension Compression Splice is a factory-assembled, pre-filled splice designed for 4/0 AWG stranded copper conductors. The splice measures 8-3/8 inches in length with an outside diameter of 7/8 inch, ensuring compatibility with standard compression tooling. It is pre-loaded with oxide inhibitor and capped to prevent contamination during installation. This splice is engineered for full tension applications, providing a secure mechanical and electrical connection between copper conductors. The compression design ensures consistent performance under load, making it suitable for power distribution, substation work, and industrial wiring systems where reliability is critical. Compatible with ABB installing dies 71, 840, and 168, the 2729 splice simplifies installation by eliminating the need for manual oxide inhibitor application. The factory-sealed design reduces preparation time and minimizes the risk of installation errors, improving overall workflow efficiency. Use this splice in overhead and underground distribution systems, transformer connections, and grounding applications where stranded copper conductors require a durable, low-resistance joint. The splice’s dimensions and material composition ensure long-term stability in both indoor and outdoor environments.
