Quick Compression Accessories

In the past, three separate compression accessory series were required to connect ACSR, AAC, AAAC and ACAR. To assist utilities and distributors in reducing inventory, AFL Conductor Accessories designed one series of compression accessories that can handle all four conductor types, the Quick Compress Product Line. Quick Compress handles these conductors while maintaining the same mechanical and electrical reliability as other AFL product lines.

There are two primary characteristics that make Quick Compress different from any other accessory line. First, it is made of a high strength aluminum alloy, which has a minimum tensile strength nearly twice that of other compression accessory systems. This means that for the same conductor size, smaller connectors can be used without any fear of sacrificing strength. Secondly, Quick Compress uses an aluminum ‘core grip’ to hold the steel core of ACSR. This eliminates the need to have a dead end steel compression barrel or a steel sleeve for full tension ACSR joints. By eliminating the steel, only one set of dies is required for installing Quick Compress Accessories.
 
All compression accessories are designed to operate at a temperature 15% to 25% cooler than the conductor. Standard compression accessories are designed for conductor operating temperatures up to 100ºC (212ºF). For applications exceeding 100ºC (212ºF) operating temperature, see the HiTemp™ Compression Accessories Catalog.

 

AFL's Quick Compress Accessories for conductor operate at temperatures up 100°C (212°F). To assist utilities and distributors in reducing inventory, AFL designed one series of compression accessories that can handle all four conductor types, the Quick Compress product line. Quick Compress handles these conductors while maintaining the same mechanical and electrical reliability as other AFL product lines.
AFL's Quick Compress Dead Ends for AAAC and ACAR Conductors operate at temperatures up 100°C (212°F). The Quick Compress Dead Ends are designed for fast and easy installation. By using a high strength alloy, the compression length has been shortened for less compression bites while maintaining a minimum 95% of the ASTM-rated strength.
AFL Quick Compress Dead Ends for AAC Conductors operate at temperatures up 100°C (212°F). The Quick Compress Dead Ends are designed for fast and easy installation. By using a high strength alloy, the compression length has been shortened for less compression bites while maintaining a minimum 95% of the ASTM-rated strength.
AFL Quick Compress dead ends for ACSR conductors operate at temperatures up 100°C (212°F). The Quick Compress dead ends are designed for fast and easy installation. By using a high-strength alloy, the compression length has been shortened for less compression bites while maintaining a minimum 95% of the ASTM-rated strength.
The Quick Compress GWDE Series Dead Ends are designed for fast and easy installation of Alumoweld® and steel ground wire. By using a high strength alloy, the compression length has been shortened for less compression bites while maintaining a minimum of 95% of the ASTM-rated strength. The steel eye is pre-compressed and the dead end is pre-filled, eliminating installation steps.
AFL Quick Compress Joints for AAAC and ACAR Conductors operate at temperatures up 100°C (212°F). The Quick Compress CJ Series Joints are designed for fast and easy installation. By using a high-strength alloy, the compression length has been shortened for less compression bites while maintaining a minimum 95% of the ASTM-rated strength.
