Burndy Y282CR Compression Splice Reducer Adapter

Burndy Compression Splice Reducer Adapter, 4/0 AWG to #2 AWG Cu

The Burndy Compression Splice Reducer Adapter is a copper transition fitting engineered for use within a compression splicing system, allowing installers to reduce a 4/0 AWG Cu conductor size down to a #2 AWG Cu conductor size in a single, secure connection. 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. This 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. The purple color coding on this adapter also helps crews quickly identify the correct reducer adapter for the job, reducing installation errors in the field.

Key Features

• Wire Size Reduction: Reduces a 4/0 AWG Cu conductor down to a #2 AWG Cu conductor size 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: Purple color coding allows crews to quickly and accurately identify the correct reducer adapter in the field.
• Reliable Field Performance: Engineered to deliver secure, code-compliant conductor size transitions in utility, industrial, and commercial electrical work.
