Burndy YSS4R Compression Splice Connector Aluminum Sleeve

Burndy YSS4R Hysplice is a single aluminum compression splice sleeve engineered for overhead electrical connections. Designed to splice 4/2 AWG ACSR or solid aluminum conductors, it is ideal for service drops and short-span overhead distribution lines where a compact, corrosion-resistant joint is required. The orange sleeve measures 4.12 inches in length and is intended for partial-tension applications within Burndy’s Hysplice family. The connector uses a BG/58 die code, aligning with Burndy crimp tooling to ensure a reliable crimp from the end toward the center. Installation relies on standard compression tooling for aluminum splices, providing a weather-resistant seal suitable for outdoor environments. This YSS4R sleeve is specifically sized for aluminum conductors and is compatible with ACSR and solid aluminum profiles, making it a common choice for service drops and short-span overhead networks. Typical use cases include connecting service drops to distribution lines or splicing at street-level tap points where space is limited and a robust, field-terminating connection is required. As with other Burndy Hysplice components, this sleeve is color-coded orange to indicate its size and conductor range, ensuring quick identification in the field.
