Is there a NEC code requirment for splicing UF wire underground. Or is there an approved device for slicing it.

Thanks

There are many approved methods of splicing UF underground. I would check with the supply company and see what they carry. Many people use a spice with a heat shrink application. There are other styles.

Here is one I have never seen before.

Me neither, here's where they are available online. Other than that, the only local distributors are in Illinois and New England.

I have used the Pinapple looking splice... Its real easy no need to heatshrink, you make the connections and screw the 2 halfs together.

Yeah, heatshrinking is time consuming. Thanks for the links, I've never seen the alternative!
