Overview

The Panduit PS6-L Copper Parallel Splice (SKU: PS6-L) is a non-insulated, seamless tubular copper splice designed for splicing two solid or stranded copper conductors in the 25,000 to 40,000 circular mil (CM) range. This parallel splice requires only one crimp to complete the connection, simplifying installation and reducing labor time. The seamless tubular barrel ensures consistent, high-performance crimps with premium wire pull-out strength, while the internal wire stop prevents over-insertion for reliable terminations. Constructed from tin-plated copper, the PS6-L resists corrosion and meets UL 486C standards for up to 2000V, making it suitable for demanding electrical and telecommunications applications. Compatible with Panduit Uni-Die Dieless Crimping Tools, this splice delivers durable, long-term performance in industrial environments with operating temperatures up to 302°F (150°C). Ideal for repairing or lengthening wires in infrastructure projects, the PS6-L is UL Listed, CSA Certified, and Telcordia NEBS Level 3 tested for reliability.

How to Install Copper Compression Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing copper compression connectors, ensuring a secure and reliable electrical connection.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Heat gun or propane torch

Supplies needed:

Copper compression connectors, Heat shrink tubing

  1. Select the correct connector

    Choose a connector that matches the wire size and material. Ensure you do not use a copper connector on aluminum wire.

  2. Prepare the wire

    Strip the wire insulation to the length specified in the tool chart without nicking or damaging the conductor strands. Clean the wire to ensure a good connection.

  3. Insert and crimp the connector

    Insert the stripped wire into the connector until it stops. Use the appropriate crimping tool to crimp the connector, ensuring you follow the required number of compressions indicated on the connector.

  4. Inspect the crimp

    After crimping, inspect the connection for any sharp edges, flash, or burrs. Remove any imperfections to ensure safety and reliability.

  5. Prepare and apply heat shrink tubing

    Cut the heat shrink tubing to the desired length, allowing for at least 1.5 inches of overlap on the wire insulation. Position the tubing over the crimped connector and shrink it using a heat gun or propane torch, moving from the crimped portion toward the insulated wire.
