Additional Information:
• Waterproof and corrosion proof
• Pre-filled with a non-toxic gel that eliminates hazmat requirements
• Re-enterable, semi-transparent, encapsulated splice allows for visible splice examination
• Includes mounting tabs to securely attach housing to structures
• Locking mechanism centers splice in box
• One piece for fast, easy installation
• No need to abrade cable during installation
• No assembly or set-up time required
• No shelf life issues with SmartGel
• Eliminates heat shrinks, primers, tapes, and epoxy packs
• Amperage not to exceed maximum temperature of the conductor
• Designed to protect cathodic splices from corrosion
• For use in outdoor or direct-burial locations
• For making tap or branch splices on insulated cables rated up to 100V

Eliminate these time-consuming steps:
• Two-part epoxy mixing and messy pouring methods
• Ambient temperature issues
• Set-up time
• Hazmat requirements with transporting materials
• Heat shrinks, primers, tapes, and epoxy packs
PRODUCT DATA AND TESTING INFORMATION:Gel is a cross-linked silicone polymer

Tests Conducted (each bullet represents a separate set of samples):

  1. 500 Hour Salt Fog
  2. Immersion / Heating / Cooling Sequence:
    • 24 hour water immersion – 72 hours at 75°C – 24 hours water immersion – 4 hours at -18°C – 24 hours water immersion
  3. 336 hours of immersion in 10% chlorine solution
  4. 336 hours of immersion in 5% salt water solution
  5. 30 minute water submersion at 6 feet followed by dielectric at 1000VAC
  6. Impact at ambient and following 168 hours at 110°C. 4 hour water immersion following impact.

NOTE:
1. The above tests were conducted with separate sets of samples.
2. Dielectric at 1,000VAC and Insulation Resistance at 250VDC conducted following all 24 hour immersions, chlorine and salt water immersion and impact testing.
