Overview

ABB 879 Aluminum Loop Compression Splices are precision-engineered for reliable conductor splicing in overhead power distribution systems. Designed specifically for ACSR 556.5 and AAC 600-700 conductors, these splices provide a secure, low-resistance connection with a 9-3/4 inch length for optimal load transfer. The compression design eliminates the need for mechanical fasteners, reducing installation time and maintenance costs while ensuring consistent performance across applications. Compatible with UT 5 type dies and hydraulic dies including 125 (3), 125 (H), 1-5/16, and 608, the 879 splice ensures proper tool alignment and compression force for reliable electrical conductivity. Manufactured by ABB Installation Products, these splices meet industry standards for electrical conductivity and mechanical strength, making them ideal for utility companies and contractors requiring durable, high-conductivity splices for medium-voltage applications. The aluminum construction provides corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in outdoor environments.
