  • Type2 Ports, In Line
  • Direct burial rated for underground installations

  • UL 486A and 486B listed with V-0 flammability

Direct Burial Splice Reducer 6AWG

The Burndy Direct Burial Splice Reducer joins two conductors in a single in-line housing. It accepts stranded copper or aluminum wires from 4 AWG to 6 AWG and is rated for direct burial without additional enclosures. Electrical contractors and utility crews use it for underground service taps and repairs.

Thermals noise and power draw

The aluminium body with Plastisol insulation operates continuously up to 194 degrees Fahrenheit under a 600 volt maximum. The UL 94 V-0 flammability rating confirms the material self-extinguishes, and the connector adds no active power draw or audible noise to the circuit.

Build fit and clearance

Two hex-drive ports at 1/8 inch simplify termination with standard tools while the unplated finish resists galvanic corrosion between dissimilar metals. UL 486A and 486B listings cover both copper and aluminum conductors, so the splice fits existing code-compliant installations without requiring additional adapter components.

Questions about this item

How do I install the Burndy Direct Burial Splice Reducer with the hex head?

Strip the 6 AWG to 4 AWG stranded copper or aluminum wires, insert them fully into each port, and tighten the 1/8 inch hex screws to secure the connection.

What maintenance does the Plastisol-insulated splice need over time?

Inspect the unplated aluminum body and red Plastisol insulation periodically for corrosion or cracking, especially after exposure to moisture or temperatures near 194 degrees F.

At what voltage or temperature limit does this connector reach its rating first under continuous load?

The connector is rated for 600 V maximum voltage and a 194 degrees F maximum operating temperature; either limit may be reached depending on the application.
