Cu to Al Splicing [RE-wrenches]

[Jeff Clearwater]

<x-flowed>

Wrenches and Other assorted Hand Tools,

(So would that make Matt a Tourque wrench? : )

I need to splice 2 AWG Cu to 3/0 Al - potentially in an underground 
pull box or outside above ground J-Box.  Can I hear folks preferred 
methods?  A Cu/AL rated butt connector smeared with NoAlox and sealed 
with 3M Mastic or Rubber Tape and then 88 tape would be my 
inclination.  But 8 miles up a dirt road - 10 years from now I would 
rather not have a callback!

Those wrenches with more tourque - or at least more experience - 
please enlighten me!

Thanks!

Jeff C.
