The BCU3 Short Barrel Copper Splice is a compression connector designed to create a secure, permanent splice between 3 AWG conductors. It is commonly used in power distribution, grounding, maintenance, and electrical installation projects where a reliable crimp connection is required.

Manufactured from high-conductivity seamless tubing, the splice helps maintain efficient current flow through the connection. The tin-plated finish protects against corrosion and oxidation, making it suitable for a wide range of indoor and outdoor electrical applications. A beveled entry simplifies conductor insertion, while the built-in cable stop helps ensure proper wire positioning before crimping.
