Burndy UGSKIT2 Watertight Underground Splice Kit, Dual Rated
The Burndy UGSKIT2 is a watertight underground splice kit engineered for dual rated aluminum and copper conductor connections in the #8-2 AWG range. Built for direct burial applications, this splice kit includes 2 heavy wall heat shrink sleeves that shrink down to form a tight, moisture-resistant barrier around each completed splice. Because the UGSKIT2 is dual rated for Al/Cu conductors, it can be used to join aluminum-to-aluminum, copper-to-copper, or aluminum-to-copper conductors within a single underground connection. This makes the UGSKIT2 a practical, code-conscious choice for contractors and utilities who need a dependable, watertight splice solution for underground and below-grade electrical work.
Key Features
- Conductor Range: Accommodates #8-2 AWG conductors, covering a broad range of underground branch and feeder splicing applications.
- Dual Rated Al/Cu: Rated for both aluminum and copper conductors, giving installers flexibility to splice mixed-metal underground circuits with a single kit.
- Heavy Wall Heat Shrink Sleeves: Includes 2 heavy wall heat shrink sleeves that shrink down over the splice to create a tight, watertight barrier.
- Watertight Seal: Purpose-built to keep moisture out of underground and direct burial splice points, helping protect the connection from corrosion and water intrusion over time.
- Direct Burial Rated: Suitable for direct burial installation, making it well suited for underground feeder and service conductor splices.
- Complete Splice Kit: Packaged as a kit with the components needed to complete a watertight underground splice without sourcing separate parts.

Burndy UGSKIT2 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Burndy UGSKIT2 underground splice kit accept?
The UGSKIT2 covers #8 through #2 AWG conductors, which takes in most underground branch and feeder splices. If your conductors fall outside that band, the UGSKIT8 and UGSKIT250 are the other two kits in the family, sized for different conductor ranges.
2) Can I splice aluminum to copper underground with the Burndy UGSKIT2?
Yes. The UGSKIT2 is dual rated AL9CU-style for both metals, so it will take aluminum to aluminum, copper to copper, or a mixed aluminum-to-copper transition in the same underground connection. That is the main reason crews reach for it on utility feeds where the service is aluminum and the branch run is copper.
3) Is the Burndy UGSKIT2 splice kit rated for direct burial, or does it need a box?
Direct burial, no enclosure required. The kit is built for below-grade and wet splice locations, and the heat shrink seal is what keeps moisture off the connection once the trench is backfilled.
4) What comes in the Burndy UGSKIT2 kit, and do I need anything else to finish the splice?
Each UGSKIT2 kit ships with the connector plus 2 heavy wall heat shrink sleeves, one per completed splice. What it does not include is the heat source: you will need a torch or heat gun on site to recover the sleeves. Strip, crimp, slide the sleeve over, shrink it down.
5) How many splices will one Burndy UGSKIT2 kit complete?
Two. The kit carries two heavy wall sleeves, so order by the number of conductor splices in the pull, not by the number of runs. A three-conductor underground feeder needs two kits.
6) Which Burndy UGSKIT should I order for larger underground conductors?
Three kits make up the line: UGSKIT8, UGSKIT2, and UGSKIT250. The UGSKIT2 handles #8-2 AWG. For a single run of small branch conductors the UGSKIT8 is the smaller kit, and UGSKIT250 is the large-conductor end of the range. Match the kit to the conductor size you are joining.
7) Will the Burndy UGSKIT2 work in a flooded handhole or wet vault, not just buried in dirt?
Yes. It is built for wet and below-grade splice locations generally, so a flooded pull box or vault is within what the watertight sleeve is meant to handle, same as a direct buried run.
8) What is the Burndy UGSKIT2 connector body made of?
Aluminum bodied, which is what makes it dual rated for both aluminum and copper conductors. On buried aluminum work, the heat shrink sleeve is doing the corrosion protection once the joint is sealed.
