Underground feeder short by 5ft, Main panel to subpanel

Home Improvement Asked by user108380 on December 14, 2020

So I have this aluminum underground feeder that is 110 ft that was supposed to be 115ft. Can you extend this line by splicing or creating a junction box or am I screwed and have to get new wire? The two hots are 4AWG, neutral is 2AWG, and ground is #4.

One Answer

You can make a splice in an appropriately sized junction box indoors. Given the large size of the wire, there will be certain minimum box size specs. The box will be long and thin if you do nose-tail connections of the wires. The electrical supply house should be able to help you with box size.

The type of splice used is called a Polaris. Take care to torque it to spec. Select Polaris connectors just large enough for your wires, so the insulation fits the connector tightly.
