SPLICING RECOMMENDATIONS |
|
|
Wire splices are the weak link of any electrical
circuit. It is especially important to make proper
joints in irrigation systems because the joints
are exposed to wet and damp environments
that can cause corrosion of the copper conductor
and premature failure. Here are Paige
Electric's recommendations:
-
For direct burial, above ground, or in valve
box installations: Model DBR/Y-6 as manufactured
by the 3M Company (Paige specification
P7364D)
-
For installation above ground or in valve
boxes: Models 316IR or MGC as manufactured
by the 3M Company (Paige specification
P7365D), or Silicone-filled wire nuts as manufactured
by IDEAL Industries (Paige specification
P7372D)
