Burndy Copper Compression Splice Reducer Adapter, Tin-Plated

Burndy Copper Compression Splice Reducer Adapter, Tin-Plated

The Burndy Copper Compression Splice Reducer Adapter is a solid-copper transition fitting engineered for use within a compression splicing system, allowing installers to reduce a larger copper conductor size down to a smaller one in a single, secure connection. This adapter family is available in wire size reductions ranging from 4/0 AWG to #2 AWG Cu up to 500 kcmil to 4/0 AWG Cu, giving crews the flexibility to select the correct transition size for the job at hand. Manufactured from solid copper for excellent electrical conductivity and finished with a tin plating that resists oxidation and corrosion, this adapter is built to perform reliably in demanding utility, industrial, and commercial electrical environments. Each reducer adapter is designed for use with long barrel splices, which are sold separately, giving crews a modular way to join mismatched copper conductor sizes without stocking a full range of custom splice kits. Color coding on these adapters also helps crews quickly identify the correct reducer adapter for the job, reducing installation errors in the field.

Key Features

• Wire Size Reduction Range: Available in reductions from 4/0 AWG to #2 AWG Cu up through 500 kcmil to 4/0 AWG Cu for use in a single compression splice connection.
• Solid Copper Construction: Machined from solid copper for superior electrical conductivity and long-term mechanical durability.
• Tin-Plated Finish: Tin plating helps resist corrosion and oxidation while maintaining a stable, low-resistance electrical connection.
• Compression Splice Compatible: Designed for use with long barrel splices (sold separately) as part of a compression-style termination system.
• Color-Coded Design: Color coding allows crews to quickly and accurately identify the correct reducer adapter size in the field, such as purple for the 4/0 AWG to #2 AWG Cu option.
• Reliable Field Performance: Engineered to deliver secure, code-compliant conductor size transitions in utility, industrial, and commercial electrical work.
