You you have vertical feeder runs say about 200 average what would determine if you would splice that and why? To make pulling easy? Thanks
For large conductors 250 kcmil and up I would splice only when that became easier/faster than pulling straight through. Sometimes trying to pull long runs without any splices is more time consuming and costly then making separate pulls and splicing. What size conductors are we talking about?
Are you saying the run is 200' in length?
What size?
Is this a vertical run through floors of a high rise type structure?
You could set a pull box half way, but pull straight through.
That would give you another lube point, plus you probably need and extra strain relief fitting in the run

Yes
4/0 and some larger
Yes... Through an open shaft about 200'
that heat shrink is ul listed for 600 volts, and is $14 a foot... all told the
makeup was about $275. the labor is another thing altogether.
Looks like a job for the Melni (TM) Butt Splice Connector. Too bad it is not actually in production yet.
(What would you be willing to pay for something like that?)
