Overview

The ABB RBB217 Expanded Vinyl Insulated Butt Splice is a precision-engineered electrical connector designed for reliable wire splicing in industrial, commercial, and residential applications. Constructed from electro-tin plated copper tubing, this splice ensures superior electrical conductivity and corrosion resistance, making it ideal for demanding environments. The blue vinyl insulation (PVC) is UL 94V-0 rated for flame resistance and handles maximum insulation temperatures up to 221°F (105°C). It is UL and CSA certified for use up to 600V per UL 486C, providing safety and compliance for high-voltage applications. Key features include a seamless tubular barrel with a brazed seam that prevents splitting during crimping, an internal wire stop for proper insertion depth, and an expanded wire entry to accommodate thicker insulation. The splice accommodates wire ranges from #16 to #14 AWG (1.5–2.5 mm²) with a maximum insulation diameter of 0.180 inches (4.57 mm). With an overall length of 1.13 inches (28.7 mm) and a width of 0.23 inches (5.84 mm), it provides a secure, low-profile connection for repairing or lengthening wires. The 1,000-piece bulk packaging offers cost-effective solutions for large-scale projects, reducing inventory needs and streamlining procurement. Compatible with industry-standard crimping tools such as the CT-100, CT-1550, CT-1551, CT-2300/ST, CT-2500/L, and UP14ZLW, the RBB217 ensures consistent, high-performance crimps with minimal effort. Its design supports both solid and stranded wire types, making it versatile for various wiring configurations. Trust ABB Installation Products for dependable performance in electrical infrastructure, grounding systems, and power distribution networks.
