ABSTRACT:
A resilient open ended reenterable splice cover is provided having an enlarged central section and cable sealing means at both ends with the central section having a cross-sectional area smaller than the cross-sectional area of the metal splice which it is designed to cover. Even though an interference fit is provided between the splice and the splice cover, the cover is removable so as to provide reentry to the splice. A lubricating medium is contained within the splice cover. The splice cover may be provided in a kit which includes a mating deformable metal splice or terminal. The kit is designed to be used in the field so as to provide a submersible reenterable splice assembly for insulated electric cables. In the preferred embodiment, the lubricating medium is a removable absorbent material having friction reducing material saturated therein whereby, when the absorbent means is removed from the splice cover, a portion of the friction reducing material is left within the splice cover so that after the splice is in place the splice cover may easily be moved into a position covering the splice and the cables with an interference fit so as to promote heat dissipation about the splice. In a further embodiment, a liquid lubricator may be contained within the cover which has removable plugs at either end. The assembly may be used with both single cables splices and multiple cable splices as well as with splices having fuses associated therewith. It is again emphasized that the cover is removable due to the friction reducing material so as to provide reentry to the splice.
