2022 BURNDY Master Catalog

Compression Connections TYPE YSH H Copper CRIMPIT™Split CompressionWye Tap Connector Type YSH heavy duty connectors are designed for insulated underground wye splices. The split H copper CRIMPIT™ connector is longer than our standard H copper CRIMPIT™ and is suitable for use on high voltage (15kV) power cables with copper conductors. The connectors cannot be used with oil filled or mass impregnated cables since no oil stop is provided. The connector is installed with standard BURNDY ® HYPRESS™ tools and is made of tin-plated electrolytic copper. Features & Benefits • Range taking H-tap that allows for less inventory as one H-tap can accommodate a multitude of wire combinations • Accommodates a wide range of run / tap combinations • The tap grooves act independently; the use of one run and one tap wire is required when using this connector for making a connection • Manufactured from high conductivity wrought copper providing low resistance for excellent electrical conductivity • Electro-tin plated unless otherwise specified to reduce galvanic corrosion (bimetallic) and resist corrosive elements • Color coded to ensure proper die and installation tooling is selected • Insulation is not provided; insulation may be obtained from Raychem (800 272-9243) Type HVSY Splice Kits for 15kV installations; a complete IEEE 404 15kV installation is provided

* Use PUADP1 adaptor with U dies in 46 Series. P dies result in a smooth crimp surface and is recommended for voltages above 600 V. ▲ See tooling section of this catalog for complete tool and die listings. † Number of crimps per connector. U dies require double crimps. Note: All dimensions shown are for reference only.
