Overview

The ABB Type ASP Aluminum Splice (SKU: ASP20) is a high-conductivity, seamless aluminum tubing splice designed for reliable electrical connections in medium-voltage applications up to 35kV. Engineered for aluminum-to-aluminum, aluminum-to-copper, and copper-to-copper conductor splices, this splice accommodates 2/0 stranded conductors with a compact 2.5-inch length, ideal for installation in confined spaces. The splice features chamfered barrels for easier installation and a tin-plated surface for superior corrosion resistance and conductivity. Pre-filled with an oxide-inhibiting compound, it ensures long-term performance and connection integrity in power distribution, utility, and industrial electrical infrastructure. The olive die color code enables quick identification and compatibility with specific crimping tools, including Blackburn®, Burndy®, T&B®, and Anderson tools. This splice is part of the Type ASP series, which supports conductor sizes ranging from #8 AWG to 1,000 kcmil, providing versatility for various electrical applications. Proper installation with the correct tooling is essential to achieve rated performance and ensure the safety and reliability of the electrical circuit.

How to Install ASP AL9CU Aluminum Compression Splices

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing ASP AL9CU aluminum compression splices on stranded aluminum and copper cables, ensuring a secure and safe electrical connection.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Wire brush, Crimping tool

Supplies needed:

ASP AL9CU aluminum compression splice, Electrical cable

  1. Prepare for Installation and Verify Components

    WARNING: Risk of shock, disconnect power before installation. CAUTION: Product should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Check the wire size marked on the aluminum splice to ensure it is the correct connector for the actual cable size to be used.

  2. Prepare the Cable

    Strip cable insulation taking care not to nick cable strands. Wire brush the cable side which will be inserted into the connector. WARNING: Do not remove oxide inhibitor from the splice barrel. Insufficient compound can result in an unsafe connection. This compound contains petroleum distillates and small metal particles. Avoid prolonged skin contact (Wash with soap and water).

  3. Connect and Crimp the Splice

    Fully insert the prepared cable into the connector. Refer to the Tool and Die Index to select the appropriate crimping tool and die combination for the cable size. Crimp the connector the number of times shown on the chart, spacing crimps uniformly along the splice, with the first crimp just outside the knurl on each side of the center.

  4. Finalize the Connection

    Wipe off any excess of oxide inhibitor from the splice.
