Notes:
- Use automatic splices for full tension applications only. Do not use automatics in slack or reduced tension spans as a poor connection will result. When installed and operated with insufficient tension, automatics will not achieve and maintain adequate jaw set to provide a good connection free of radio noise.
- Use semi-tension neutral service compression sleeves Z1202 and Z1203, respectively, for splicing #4 and #2 ACSR primary slack or reduced tension spans. These sleeves have a minimum holding strength rating of 40% of the breaking strength of the conductor.
- With the exception of #4 and #2 ACSR (see Note 3), when splicing primary slack or reduced tension spans, use full tension overhead compression sleeves as listed in Compatible Units Z0801 - Z0814.
- Unless otherwise specified by the District, all full tension conductor splices shall be at least 5 ft from supports after conductor is clipped-in and shall be at least 5 ft with respect to distribution, and 15 ft with respect to transmission, from any deadend or compression fittings. Splices shall be avoided in crossing over major communication lines, railroads and highways.
Splice Locations
All splicing shall conform to the District's standards. All conductor splices shall be installed the minimum distance indicated below from supports and deadends, unless a greater spacing is specified by engineering. Splices shall be avoided in crossings over major communications lines, railroads and highways. Any splice which is bent or damaged shall not be used. For details of splice installation, see T&D Guidelines 4-10-5.0 and 4-10-6.0.
| Minimum Distance from Supports | |
|---|---|
| Distribution | 5 feet |
| Transmission | 15 feet |
Automatic splices are NOT to be installed on the transmission system.
