Overview

The ABB UBG 68 Service Entrance Compression Splice (SKU: UBG 68) is a high-conductivity aluminum splice designed for reliable aluminum-to-aluminum (AL/AL) and aluminum-to-copper (AL/CU) conductor connections in service entrance applications. Engineered for durability and ease of installation, this splice features solid center barriers and large chamfers to simplify cable insertion while preventing oxidation and moisture ingress via prefilled oxide inhibitor. The 2-3/4 inch length accommodates a defined wire range, with End A supporting 6 AWG ACSR, 6 AWG stranded, and 4 AWG solid conductors, and End B designed for 8 AWG stranded and 6 AWG solid conductors. Color-coded green for identification, the splice includes marked strip lengths, installation die codes, and compression locations for streamlined field installation. The required 5/8 inch die ensures a secure, permanent connection for service entrance systems.
