How to Install Aluminum Compression Lugs and Splices

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of aluminum compression lugs and splices (Type ATL and ASP) for stranded, compressed, compact aluminum and copper conductors.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Crimping tool, Wire brush, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

Aluminum compression connector (Type ATL or ASP), Electrical cable (Aluminum or Copper conductor), Oxide inhibitor (if not pre-filled in connector)

  1. Turn Off Power

    WARNING: ELECTRICAL HAZARD! Turn off all power to the circuit before beginning installation to prevent electrical shock or injury.

  2. Verify Connector and Wire Size

    Check the wire size marked on the aluminum connector to ensure it matches the actual cable size to be used.

  3. Strip Cable Insulation

    Carefully strip the cable insulation, avoiding any damage to the conductor's strands.

  4. Wire Brush Conductor

    Thoroughly wire brush the conductor side that will be inserted into the connector. Use a T&B catalog number WWB1 wire brush or an equivalent.

  5. Insert Conductor

    Fully insert the prepared conductor into the aluminum compression connector until it bottoms out.

  6. Crimp the Connector

    Consult the provided Tool and Die Index to select the correct tool and die combination for your cable size. Crimp the connector the specified number of times as indicated in the chart. For splices, make the first crimp just outside the knurl on each side of the center and space subsequent crimps uniformly. For lugs, make the first crimp at the inner end of the barrel and space subsequent crimps uniformly along the barrel.

  7. Clean Excess Inhibitor

    Wipe off any excess oxide inhibitor from the crimped connector.
