Burndy YS36 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What conductor size does the Burndy YS36 Hylink splice take?
The YS36 is sized for 600 kcmil stranded copper conductor, one size only, on both ends. It is a straight splice, not a reducer, so both cable ends must be 600 kcmil copper. Aluminum conductor is out of scope here since the barrel is copper.
2) How much insulation do I strip back for a Burndy YS36 splice?
Strip 2-11/16 inches off each conductor end. The barrel is 5.85 inches overall (149 mm), with a B length of 2.63 inches, so each cable bottoms out around the center stop. The barrel mouth is chamfered, which helps feed a full 600 kcmil strand bundle without birdcaging.
3) Which crimp die do I need for the Burndy YS36?
Set up for the GREEN color code, die index 22 or 472. Get the die right before you crimp: an undersized die on a 600 kcmil long barrel leaves a high-resistance joint that will run hot under load.
4) Can I use this splice on a 35kV feeder?
Yes. The YS36 is rated to 35 kV maximum, with a 600 volt minimum rating, so it covers everything from building feeders up through medium-voltage utility and substation cable. The conductor connection itself is what carries that rating; the splice still has to be rebuilt with the appropriate insulation and shielding system for the circuit voltage.
5) Is the Burndy YS36 UL listed and good for 90 degree C conductors?
UL Listed and CSA Approved, built to UL468A-468B, and rated for continuous operation at 90 degrees C. That matches THHN/THWN-2 and most MV cable insulation temperature ratings, so the connector is not the limiting element in a 90 C ampacity calculation.
6) Why choose a long barrel splice instead of a standard barrel?
The long barrel gives you more contact length and room for additional crimps, which is what you want on heavy 600 kcmil copper carrying high current or sitting in a duct bank where the joint has to outlive the cable. Short barrel versions exist for tight pull boxes and manholes where 5.85 inches of barrel will not fit around the bend radius. If space is the constraint, measure the splice window first.
7) Will the tin plating hold up in a wet underground vault?
The barrel is electro tin plated copper, which is the standard finish for direct-buried and manhole splicing because it slows oxidation on the copper and keeps contact resistance stable at the crimp. Plating alone is not a moisture seal, so the joint still needs the proper tape or heat-shrink rebuild for a submerged location.
8) Is the Burndy YS36 sold individually or only in a box?
Minimum pack quantity is 1, so you can buy a single splice for a one-off repair rather than committing to a carton.
9) Does the YS36 meet RoHS for a government or institutional spec?
Burndy reports the YS36 with a RoHS compliance status of CM (compliant with exemption). If your submittal package requires the manufacturer document, the Burndy spec sheet for the YS36 is published at hubbellcdn.com under BRDY-YS36-SPEC-EN.
