How to Install ASP AL9CU Aluminum Compression Splices

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing ASP AL9CU aluminum compression splices on stranded, compressed, or compact aluminum and copper cables, ensuring a secure and compliant connection.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire brush (e.g., ABB catalog number WWB1), Crimping tool, Appropriate crimping dies (refer to Tool and Die Index)

Supplies needed:

ASP AL9CU aluminum compression splice, Aluminum or copper cable

  1. Disconnect Power

    WARNING: Risk of shock. Before beginning any installation, ensure that all power to the circuit is disconnected. This product should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

  2. Verify Cable and Splice Compatibility

    Check the wire size marked on the aluminum splice to ensure it is the correct connector for the actual cable size to be used. Use maximum cable for connector selection.

  3. Prepare Cable Insulation

    Strip the cable insulation to the appropriate length, taking extreme care not to nick or damage the cable strands during the stripping process.

  4. Clean Cable Conductors

    Wire brush the cable side that will be inserted into the connector. This step helps ensure good electrical contact. (Reference ABB catalog number WWB1 for a suitable wire brush).

  5. Insert Cable into Connector

    Fully insert the prepared cable into the splice connector barrel. WARNING: Do not remove oxide inhibitor from the splice barrel, as 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) and consult a physician if swallowed or in contact with eyes.

  6. Crimp the Splice

    Refer to the 'Tool and Die Index' provided in the documentation. Select one of the tool/die combinations listed for your specific cable size. Crimp the connector the number of times shown on the chart for the chosen tool/die combination. For splices, make the first crimp just outside the knurl on each side of the center and space subsequent crimps uniformly along the splice.

  7. Clean Excess Oxide Inhibitor

    After crimping, wipe off any excess oxide inhibitor that may have been expelled from the splice barrel.
