How to splice Triplex

Hoping to get some primary underground terminations on here soon! 😁🍻

I'm not a linesman or electrician but I find this amusing for some reason!

First of all, thank you very much for the shoutout. We use the same trick when pressing the connector, sometimes it can happen that the connector still looks like a banana, but when the rope is in the air and there is 3 tons of tension on it, it sometimes straightens again

"Put dies in pocket, don't lose em." "Where did ya put those dyes?" "I dunno."

I'm a ground hand right now but one day soon when I'm an apprentice I hope to work with many JLs like you. Love your videos & thank you for sharing all this invaluable information.

Great job!! As a Utility Safety Professional, you nail it every time. One comment.... when using the Milwaukee Crimp tool, I would mention that the battery should be removed prior to placing the die into the tool. This would avoid a possible accidental trigger activation possibly causing a finger injury. Awesome video, keep up the great work !!

20 years ago when I was volunteering at Manassas National Battlefield Park in Virginia near Washington DC, they were renovating their museum and visitor center. In the process they were upgrading to a larger 3 phase transformer and running new under ground lines. The last refurbishment of the facility was in the 1960s. As they were digging the trench they uncovered some of the original underground cable buried back in 1940 when the building was built. It was a lead encased, 10 gauge 2 conductor cable, probably carrying 110 volts. Total length was around 500 feet to the street. Power requirements back then were a lot less than what we need today. I kept a piece of it but got rid of it when I moved from that area in 2010.

I work on duplex and triplex most days, aside from streetlights. Im going to a line crew in a week or so and im excited! Theyre bringing me in as a C class because of prior experience and im going to bust my ass to learn everything i can and do my best work!

I’m not a lineman but I thoroughly enjoy your videos

that humming in the background brings back memories

Great video! I appreciate the work you all do to keep our power on. You are today’s cowboys of the grid!

Thanks. Some helpful tips. I'm an electrician, but we are one of the few companies in the eastern Pennsylvania are that are authorized to crimp triplex. I do a lot of service upgrades, billboards, farms and grocery stores and learning from linesmen seems to be the best education. Cheers

Great video! I used the Milwaukee crimp tool on my buddies service entrance last fall. You're so right. That tool is an absolute joy to use!! Latrobe PA--USA

Watching from Indiana. Much respect for HV team and their outstanding adherence to procedures. I have several friends in campus “HV” (12.7 KV) and have been impressed with their action scripts. Puts meaning into teamwork.

Thanks for sharing, it’s great to see line work close up!

Nice man, thanks for this. It was great to see how line workers do these kinds of repairs.

Sweet! That was awesome to watch! Excellent video. Working to get into the electrical utility trade myself and these videos are invaluable to me!

You are a great teacher. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

Thanks for the video! As always, helpful and informative (even for people like me, not a line man!) And I can't wait to check out the guy who you gave a shutout to! Communications is in my name!

T Will Lineman for hire is mint, I really enjoy his content, Wish he had more of it.
