ear2ear Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Ok, I hate this. I have to extend some 1/0 power wire. What methods have you guys used to splice 2 pieces of 1/0? I just bought a 12 ton crimper so I thought about using a chunk of copper pipe as a giant butt connector. Then heatshrink - then Techflex. It is Knu 1/0 OFC and it will only have a 200amp fuse on the 20ft run, so I'm not worried about a some resistance. Thanks.

SnowDrifter Posted March 20, 2014 Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 Any reason why you need to splice vs. making a new run and using the old as scrap? You can pretty much plan on having little to no flexibility on the 8" of wire where the splice is. Where would this be in the run? Middle? One of the ends? You could always use a fuse holder ~~~~~~~~SAY NO TO PHOTOBUCKET~~~~~~~~ Snow's DD-1 tracks here: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/167433-snows-dd-1-tracks/ My take on OFC vs CCA: https://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/110381-things-that-piss-you-off-in-the-car-audio-world/?do=findComment&comment=2461444 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ear2ear Posted March 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted March 20, 2014 I've used the butt connectors from Home Depot before. It's a long aluminum lug with 4 set screws...not bad. I just want the best connection possible. Any opinions on soldering into a sold mass? wouldn't that create more resistance?
