Burndy YS25 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire size does the Burndy YS25 Hylink splice take?
The YS25 is sized for 1/0 AWG stranded copper conductors, corresponding to the 100 (61) Navy size code. It is a single-size splice, so both conductor ends must be 1/0 AWG copper. It will not accept aluminum conductors.
2) How much insulation do I strip back for a Burndy YS25 splice?
Strip 1-7/16 inches of insulation from each conductor end. The barrel is 3.08 inches (78 mm) overall with a B length of 1.34 inches, so each conductor seats about half the barrel and meets in the middle. The chamfered barrel entry helps the stranded conductor start without birdcaging.
3) Which die do I use to crimp the Burndy YS25?
The YS25 carries the PINK color code with a 12 or 348 die index. Match the die index on your compression tool to that, and check the color stripe on the barrel against the die before crimping.
4) Can I use the Burndy YS25 splice on a 15kV or 35kV medium-voltage cable?
Yes. The YS25 is rated 600V minimum up to 35kV maximum (35,000V), which covers 5kV, 15kV, 25kV and 35kV class copper conductor splicing. It is the metallic connector only, so the splice still needs the appropriate insulating and shielding system over it for medium-voltage work.
5) Is a 3M Scotchcast 82-A3N inline resin splice kit a substitute for the Burndy YS25 copper compression splice?
They do different jobs on the same conductor. The Burndy YS25 is a copper compression splice that is crimped onto the conductor with a die tool, using a 1-7/16 in strip length and a long chamfered barrel. The 3M 7100117646 Scotchcast 82-A3N is an inline resin splice kit for non-shielded cable rated 1-5 kV, which encapsulates a made-up connection in poured resin. If you need the mechanical and electrical joint itself in 1/0 AWG copper, the YS25 is the part; the resin kit is an insulating and sealing system built around a connection, not a crimp connector.
6) For a 35 kV splice, can I use the 3M Scotchcast 82-A3N kit instead of the Burndy YS25?
No. The Burndy YS25 carries a 35 kV maximum rating with a 600V minimum, which covers medium-voltage distribution work. The 3M 7100117646 Scotchcast 82-A3N inline resin splice kit is rated 1-5 kV and is non-shielded, so it does not reach into the 35 kV range. Match the splice to the system voltage on the drawing.
7) Is the Burndy YS25 UL Listed for inspected work?
UL Listed and CSA Approved, built to UL468A-468B. That is the connector standard inspectors look for on compression splices, so it will pass on commercial and utility installations.
8) What is the temperature rating on the Burndy YS25 splice?
Rated 90 degrees C, which matches the conductor rating of THHN/THWN-2 and most medium-voltage cable insulation, so it will not be the limiting component in a 90C circuit.
9) Why choose a long barrel splice like the YS25 over a standard barrel?
Long barrel means more contact length on each conductor, which is what you want for higher-voltage and heavy-duty feeders. The YS25 is a long barrel, chamfered YS-style splice for 1/0 AWG copper, typically crimped twice per side. A short barrel splice takes fewer crimps and is fine on low-voltage branch work, but for medium-voltage up to 35kV the long barrel is the correct choice.
10) Do I need a resin splice kit instead of a compression splice like the Burndy YS25?
They do different jobs. The YS25 makes the metallic connection on 1/0 AWG copper, compression style, rated up to 35kV, and you build the insulation over it. A poured kit like the 3M Scotchcast 82-A3N inline resin splice, 82-A Series, is a 1-5 kV non-shielded system that encapsulates the joint. Below 5kV a resin kit can finish the splice in one step; above that voltage class you are back to a compression connector plus a rated splice system.
11) I only need one splice for a repair, not a case. How does the Burndy YS25 compare to the 3M Scotchcast kit on pack quantity?
The Burndy YS25 has a minimum pack quantity of 1, so a single splice can be bought for a single joint. The 3M 7100117646 Scotchcast 82-A3N is supplied 10 per case. For a one-off 1/0 AWG copper connection with the crimp tool already on the truck, the YS25 is the single-piece option.
12) Which splice is UL Listed for a direct-buried or wet-location copper connection, the Burndy YS25 or the 3M 82-A3N resin kit?
The Burndy YS25 is UL Listed and CSA Approved to UL468A-468B, with a tin electro-plated copper barrel for corrosion resistance. The 3M 7100117646 is a Scotchcast 82-A Series inline resin splice kit for non-shielded cable, which is a resin encapsulation system rather than a UL468 crimp connector. Many installers use the two together: the compression splice makes the joint, the resin kit seals it.
13) Will the tin plating on the YS25 hold up in a damp vault or direct-burial application?
The barrel is copper with an electroplated tin finish, which resists corrosion on the exposed connector surface. For buried or submerged splices, the connector still has to be covered by a sealing system; the plating protects conductivity, not the joint's water tightness.
14) Can I buy a single Burndy YS25 splice or do they come in a box?
Minimum pack quantity is 1, so you can order a single YS25 rather than a full carton. Useful when you only need one repair splice on a service call.
