EPCO’s Dual Rated Butt Splice Kits – For Direct Burial provide a reliable and efficient solution for splicing and repairing USE Cable in underground installations. Each kit includes one (1) mechanical connector and two (2) pieces of Thick Wall Heat Shrink Tubing, creating a fully insulated, moisture-resistant splice without the need for additional tape, mastics, or expensive crimping tools. These kits are designed for direct burial applications, accommodating both aluminum and copper conductors, making them ideal for residential, commercial, and industrial underground wiring projects. Rated for 600 Volts maximum and 105°C (221°F), the Dual Rated Butt Splice Kits ensure a safe, durable, and long-lasting splice. 

All components are UL Listed, providing contractors with confidence in the quality and reliability of each splice. These kits also meet the requirements of the 2026 National Electrical Code (NEC) Articles 110.14(B) and 300.5(C)(E) for proper insulation, grounding, and direct burial cable protection.
