ABSTRACT:
An enclosure and enclosure kit for encapsulating a splice or splices between main and service cables, the enclosure containing a potted compound which prevents the entry of moisture into the splice or splices. The enclosure is re-enterable to permit the addition or deletion of service cables, the potting compound being of a type which is readily removable to permit adding or deleting service connections. More particularly, the enclosure kit includes a re-closable, longitudinally split tubular housing and re-closable, longitudinally split end caps telescopable over the ends of the tubular housing, together with a supply of potting compound adequate to completely charge the enclosure, or to replace potting compound removed upon re-entry. Readily releasable locking elements are provided to close the longitudinal splits in the tubular housing and in the end caps, such locking elements also resisting circumferential expansion of the enclosure components mentioned. The end caps have outer end walls provided with longitudinally slit nipples for main cables, and sealed nipples for service cables, the ends of the sealed nipples being severable to permit insertion of service cables as required.
