A tap splice is a splice that is made usually in a mid span of aerial feeder conductors. It is used to connect a home from a utility company's secondary service drop on the street where the span is between poles and it is not convenient to connect a mid span home to either pole. Tap splices are also made in underground services where the utility feeders are in conduit between junction boxes. Each home along the route has an underground conduit from the junction box to the homes meter base. In the junction box where the home service wires connect to the utility feeders, this splice is known as a tap splice.
