Burndy YSV26FX 2/0 AWG Copper Long Barrel Compression Splice
The Burndy YSV26FX is a long barrel compression splice engineered to join 2/0 AWG copper conductors, including Flex cable types G, H, I, K, M, and DLO. Built with an internal chamfer for smoother conductor entry and a tin-plated copper barrel for corrosion resistance, this splice is rated 90°C and suitable for medium-voltage circuits up to 35kV. It is UL and CSA listed and uses a 13 die index for compatible compression tooling, making it a dependable choice for professional electricians and utility crews joining flexible copper conductors.
Key Features
- Conductor Range: Sized for 2/0 AWG copper conductors, compatible with Flex cable types G, H, I, K, M, and DLO.
- Durable Construction: Tin-plated copper barrel resists corrosion and maintains low contact resistance over time.
- Long Barrel Design: Extended barrel length with an internal chamfer for easier conductor insertion and a secure, uniform compression.

Burndy YSV26FX – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Will the Burndy YSV26FX splice work on 2/0 DLO cable?
Yes. The YSV26FX is sized for 2/0 AWG copper conductors and covers Flex cable types G, H, I, K, M and DLO. DLO and the other flex types have far more strands than Class B building wire, which is why this splice uses a long barrel with an internal chamfer to feed the strands in without birdcaging.
2) What die do I need to crimp the Burndy YSV26FX?
Use a 13 die index in your compression tool. Any Burndy-style hydraulic or battery crimper that accepts index-numbered dies will take it; the barrel is also color coded black for 2/0, so the crew can match splice to die at the pull without hunting for the stamp.
3) Can I use a compression splice like this on a 15kV or 25kV feeder?
The YSV26FX is rated for medium-voltage service up to 35kV, so 15kV and 25kV circuits are within rating. The splice itself is the conductor connection only, so the joint still needs the appropriate insulating and shielding system built over it for the class of cable you are splicing.
4) Can I use the YSV26FX to splice aluminum conductor?
No. It is a copper-only splice for 2/0 AWG copper. Aluminum, or a copper-to-aluminum transition, needs a connector rated AL9CU or an aluminum-bodied compression splice instead.
5) Is this splice rated for 90 degree C conductors?
Rated for continuous operation at 90 degrees C, which matches the 90 C conductor insulation used on most commercial and industrial feeders, so it will not be the limiting element in a 75 C or 90 C terminated circuit.
6) Is the YSV26FX UL listed for inspected work?
Both UL Listed and CSA Listed, which is what an inspector or a spec-driven institutional job will ask for on a medium-voltage conductor splice. Crimped with the specified 13 die index, it gives a repeatable, code-compliant termination.
7) What is the exact part number to order this Burndy 2/0 copper splice?
Order Burndy MPN YSV26FX. It is a single-configuration part, one splice covering 2/0 AWG copper including the flex cable types, so there is no finish, length or die option to specify beyond confirming your tool takes a 13 index die.
8) Why choose a long barrel splice instead of a standard barrel?
A long barrel gives you two crimps per side instead of one, spreading the mechanical load and pull-out resistance over more conductor length. That matters on fine-stranded flex and DLO cable, which is exactly what the YSV26FX is built for, and the internal chamfer lets the strands enter without hanging up on the barrel mouth.
9) Will a tin-plated copper splice hold up in a damp or corrosive environment?
The barrel is tin-plated copper, which resists corrosion and keeps contact resistance low over the life of the joint. That plating is the reason these are used in substation, switchgear and outdoor utility distribution work rather than a bare copper barrel.
