ILSDBK-2 Ilsco Direct Burial Kit #8-#2AWG

Yes — the Ilsco DBK-2 is dual-rated, meaning the included SPA-2 splice connector is listed for use with both copper and aluminum conductors in the #8 to #2 AWG range. Always verify conductor compatibility against the manufacturer's cut sheet before installation.

Yes. The DBK-2 carries both UL and CSA certifications, so it meets Canadian electrical code requirements for direct burial splice applications. The heat shrink tubing included in the kit provides the moisture and corrosion protection required for underground use.

Each DBK-2 kit comes complete with one SPA-2 splice connector and two pieces of heat shrink tubing — everything needed to complete a single direct burial splice on conductors from #8 to #2 AWG. A heat gun is required on-site to activate the heat shrink. No additional sealing compounds or separate connectors are needed.
