ABSTRACT:
A branch-off seal between a heat-shrinkable sleeve, made for example from a cross-linked polymeric material, and two or more substrates such as electric cables or other utility lines is effected by using a fork member. The end portion of the heat-shrinkable sleeve is threaded between the prongs of the fork member so that, on recovery, the heat-shrinkable material tightens and at least two prongs abut the outer surfaces of the sleeve which surround the substrates so as to retain the fork member in position. The fork is preferably made from a metal such as stainless steel or aluminium.
