Our take on the Conch 2-2-2 Triplex Overhead Aluminum Wire, 1000'

Conch 2-2-2 triplex is a 1,000-foot spool of overhead service-drop aluminum wire: two insulated 2 AWG conductors and one bare 2 AWG neutral, each stranded 7/w. It is built for the run from a utility pole to a meter or weatherhead, not for burial or indoor branch circuits. The 0.045-inch insulation is standard overhead-service thickness. It carries a 4.8 out of 5 rating from 23 ratings.

Questions and answers

Is this wire OK for a 100-amp service?
Yes. 2 AWG aluminum triplex is a common choice for 100-amp overhead residential services. Have a licensed electrician confirm it against your local code and utility requirements.
Can I bury this triplex underground?
No. This is overhead service-drop wire with thin insulation and a bare neutral. Use a listed underground feeder cable for buried runs.
What does 2-2-2 mean?
It means two insulated 2 AWG conductors plus one bare 2 AWG neutral. The two insulated legs carry the hot lines to your panel.
How long is the spool?
1,000 feet on one spool. That is enough for most single-family overhead service drops without a splice.
Do I need special connectors for aluminum?
Yes. Use connectors listed for aluminum and apply an antioxidant compound. Re-torque terminations after the first heating cycle.
