Burndy UGS350ULDB Unitap In-Line Splice Reducer, Direct Burial Rated

Burndy UGS350ULDB Unitap In-Line Splice Reducer, Direct Burial Rated

The Burndy UGS350ULDB is a Unitap Series in-line splice/reducer engineered for direct burial applications, giving installers a dependable way to connect and transition conductors below grade. Constructed from 6061-T6 aluminum and dual rated for both aluminum and copper conductors, this splice reducer accommodates a wide conductor range of 8 AWG-350 kcmil aluminum and 12 AWG-350 kcmil copper. Its direct burial rating makes it well suited for underground utility and distribution wiring where a compact, corrosion-resistant splice connection is required, and its mechanical design eliminates the need for specialized compression tooling on many installations.

Key Features

• Conductor Range: Accommodates 8 AWG-350 kcmil aluminum and 12 AWG-350 kcmil copper conductors for flexible sizing and reducing applications.
• Dual Rated Al/Cu: Approved for use with both aluminum and copper conductors in a single splice connection, simplifying inventory for mixed-metal jobs.
• Durable Construction: Machined from 6061-T6 aluminum for strength and corrosion resistance in buried, high-moisture environments.
• Direct Burial Rated: Engineered for below-grade installation, making it suitable for underground splicing without additional enclosures.
• In-Line Splice/Reducer Design: Provides a compact, straight-line connection point for joining conductors or reducing conductor size within the connector's range.
• Reducing Capability: Functions as a reducer, allowing transitions between different conductor sizes within the supported 8 AWG-350 kcmil range.
• Unitap Series: Part of Burndy's Unitap line of mechanical connectors built for underground and direct burial applications.
