Underground Splice

[oliver100]

I have to splice 3 1/0 conductors, running undergound in 2" PVC conduit. Need a junction/splice box. Any suggestions for manufacturer, model etc?

Has anybody used Thomas&Betts Long Barrel Copper Connectors with lead-free solder instead of crimping them?

Any box listed for outdoor use will suffice. Remember 314.29 requires the box to be accessible and it cannot be buried.

My preference has always been to use the Quazite fiber cement boxes. I think that they're becoming pretty standard for outdoor in ground splice boxes.

Never used the splicers you speak of. My preference is to just use regular H-taps or preinsulated set-screw pedestal bugs for this application.
