How to Install ASP AL9CU Compression Splices

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

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Wire brush, Crimping tool, Appropriate die set

Supplies needed:

ASP AL9CU aluminum compression splice, Aluminum or copper cable

  1. Disconnect Power and Review Safety

    WARNING: Risk of shock, disconnect all power to the circuit before beginning installation. Ensure the product is installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Read and understand all instructions and safety information before use.

  2. Verify Cable and Splice Compatibility

    Check the wire size marked on the aluminum splice to confirm it is the correct connector for the actual cable size to be used. Ensure the splice is rated for the specific aluminum or copper cable.

  3. Strip Cable Insulation

    Carefully strip the insulation from the cable, taking extreme care not to nick or damage the cable strands. Refer to the splice specifications for the correct strip length.

  4. Wire Brush Cable Strands

    Thoroughly wire brush the cable strands that will be inserted into the connector. This removes any oxidation and ensures optimal electrical contact. Use a wire brush (e.g., ABB catalog number WWB1).

  5. Insert Cable into Splice

    Fully insert the prepared cable into the splice barrel. Ensure the cable is seated completely and makes firm contact with the internal oxide inhibitor. WARNING: Do not remove the oxide inhibitor from the splice barrel; insufficient compound can result in an unsafe connection.

  6. Crimp the Splice

    Consult the 'Tool and Die Index' provided with the product to select the correct crimping tool and die combination for your cable size. Crimp the connector the specified number of times, spacing crimps uniformly along the splice. For splices, make the first crimp just outside the knurl on each side of the center.

  7. Clean Excess Oxide Inhibitor

    After crimping, wipe off any excess oxide inhibitor from the exterior of the splice. Avoid prolonged skin contact with the compound (wash with soap and water). Consult a physician if swallowed or contact with eyes.
