Overview

The ABB KL36-1 Aluminum Service Entrance Compression Splice is a heavy-duty, 3-1/2 inch long connector engineered for reliable aluminum-to-aluminum and aluminum-to-copper conductor splices in commercial and industrial service entrance applications. Designed for 1/0 ASCR, 1/0 stranded, and 2/0 stranded compact aluminum conductors on both End A and End B, this splice ensures consistent electrical performance with a maximum conductor diameter of 0.398 inches and minimum of 0.368 inches. Constructed from high-conductivity aluminum with a solid center barrier and large chamfers, the KL36-1 simplifies cable insertion while maintaining structural integrity. The tough stabilized-nylon sleeve resists tool pressure and provides 600V insulation, protecting against moisture and oxidation. Pre-filled with oxide inhibitor, this splice prevents corrosion and extends service life in harsh environments. Color-coded yellow foil caps enable quick identification, while marked strip lengths and compression locations streamline installation. Ideal for reducing sleeves in commercial service applications, the KL36-1 accommodates large conductors with popular mechanical and hydraulic tools, offering a cost-effective solution for heavy-duty splicing needs. Key specifications: - Length: 3-1/2 inches - Conductor range: 1/0 ASCR, 1/0 stranded, 2/0 stranded compact (both ends) - Diameter range: 0.398" max, 0.368" min - Color code: Yellow - Die required: 840 - Material: Aluminum with nylon sleeve - Voltage rating: 600V Use the KL36-1 for durable, low-maintenance splices in overhead services, utility connections, and commercial installations where aluminum conductors require secure, long-term joints.
