Direct Burial Splice

[Little Bill]

I need some direct burial splice kits, preferably Polaris. The problem is the conductors are 3awg and the Polaris in-line splices are either 4-6awg or 1-2awg. Seems the #2 would be too large and the #4 would be too small.
Anyone know if Polaris has any different sizes that would cover a #3?
Or another brand you would trust on direct burial Al conductors?
There are three damaged conductors.

Crimp and heat shrinks. Sorry. Only way to go for underground. I've dig up and replaced any others I've done.

I've used the Polaris several times over the years, not one call back.

Have you used this?

I've used the one for 10 3 UF that has the little plastic holders. It held up so far and that's been 2 or 3 years. I'd rather put a hand hole just in case though.
