Running splice in service drop

[Chris Bernhardt]

I can't recall ever seeing a running splice in a service drop to a house. Is that legal?

There are lots of them out there. They're fine.

(Now you're going to notice them on every other house.)

Besides, anything the power company does is okay to start with. If you don't believe it, just ask them. []

Hi,

Well, I think it makes sense that they should be entitled to splice it when necessary. Sooner or later, every roll of wire runs out and leaves an odd-sized length of cable that's too short for the next application. if they couldn't do that they'd be left with a mountain of cut-offs worth a lot of wasted cash.

OT - OF!!!

As Brian said, the electric utility is God when it comes to electricity. If anyone wants to question them be my guest - I've been down that path and it wasn't an enjoyable outcome.
