ABSTRACT:
A two piece enclosure having a separate cover and a hollow body into which is placed a multiplicity of wires which have had the insulation stripped away adjacent their respective ends so they can be connected together by a connector. The hollow body is partially filled with a waterproof gel and the connector and ends of the connected wires are placed into the hollow body so that they are immersed within the waterproof gel. The top of the hollow body and the cover have aligned openings to permit a respective wire to extend out of the closed assembly through the aligned openings after the cover has been placed on the body. The cover further comprises a centrally disposed rod which extends transversely to the interior of the cover and is aligned with the connector. In this way, the wires can move through the aligned openings between the cover and the hollow body, and the connector and connected wires can be pulled on without causing the entire assembly to be pulled out of the ground, while the transverse rod serves to prevent the connector and the connected ends of the wires from being pulled out of the waterproof gel. The cover may also include a webbed opening to permit additional waterproof gel to be added after the cover is closed.
