FEATURES: |
- A low cost alternative to resin packs used in conjunction
with twist-on wire connectors, split bolts, butt connectors,
etc.
- No waiting for resins to dry before the splice can be placed
inside a valve/junction box.
- The simplicity of the design allows for drastic reductions
of installation time and costs. Just tighten the set screws
on the bus bar connector and slide it into the gel-filled enclosure.
- No tools required, other than wire strippers. An Allen wrench
is provided with each 3-pack to allow tightening of the set
screws on the bus bar connector.
- Fool-proof design minimizes the possibility of human error.
- Designed to meet Articles 300.5 (Underground Installations)
and 110.14 (Electrical Connections) of the 2005 National Electrical
Code®, under UL® 486D-Direct Burial.
- The plastic enclosure is resistant to the ultraviolet rays
of the sun.
- A cable tie is provided with each connector kit to provide
strain relief, so the connection doesn't come apart when the
wires are pulled-upon.
- Child resistant re-entry tabs allow the taking apart of
the splice without loss of wire. The connector should not be
re-used after taking the splice apart.
