Red insulated aluminium splice reducer with two in-line ports

Burndy

Burndy Direct Burial Splice Reducer 2 AWG 2 Ports In Line

SKU CH-JFK8-Z67K5

An insulated aluminium multitap connector for 1–2 AWG copper or aluminium conductors, rated 600 V and 194 °F, with two in-line ports and plastisol insulation

  • Type2 Ports, In Line
  • Direct-burial rated for underground installations
  • Two inline ports join or reduce 2 AWG conductors
  • Plastisol insulation protects up to 194 °F service temperature
  • Aluminium body accepts both copper and aluminium stranded wire
  • UL 486A/486B listed for 600 V applications

Direct Burial Splice Reducer

The Burndy connector joins two conductors in a straight inline arrangement. It accepts stranded copper from 2 AWG down to 1 AWG and is rated for direct burial use. The aluminium body is unplated and insulated with red Plastisol. UL listing under standards 486A and 486B confirms code compliance.

Hex Drive Inline Build

Each port uses a 5/32 inch hex set screw for secure termination without special crimp tools. The double-sided entry allows wires to enter from opposite ends for a clean splice. Plastisol insulation remains flexible at low temperature and resists moisture and abrasion in underground environments. RoHS compliant construction meets environmental requirements.

Upgrades From Taped Split Bolts

Installers replacing taped split-bolt splices gain a fully insulated, submersible connection that eliminates separate tape steps. The 600 V rating covers standard residential and light commercial circuits. The 194 Degrees F maximum operating temperature suits typical load conditions. Buyers needing more than two ports or a larger conductor range should select a different multitap configuration.

Questions about this item

What voltage does the 600 V rating actually limit on this splice?

The 600 V rating sets the maximum operating voltage for the connector, so it must not be used on circuits exceeding 600 volts.

What conductor sizes fit the two in-line ports?

Each port accepts stranded copper from 2 AWG up to 1 AWG, and the aluminum body also accommodates aluminum conductors in the same range.

How is the connector secured, and which step is often missed?

Strip the conductors, insert them fully into both ports, then tighten the hex screws with a 5/32 in hex driver to the proper torque; the step most often missed is fully seating the wires before tightening.
