Cold-Shrink Branch Splice

EC&M's weekly product pick.

Oct. 3, 2005

The QS-2001B is a cold-shrink branch splice designed to more easily make a wye/branch splice configuration on electrical power cables rated up to 15kV. This silicone rubber splice is applied by unwrapping and pulling a perforated core that supports the tub, so there is no need to use torches or force. The splice accepts conductor sizes from #2 AWG through 500kcmil and accommodates main feeder cable runs and taps of 350kcmil to 500kcmil. It features a set screw connector and an adapter to control the stress and seals between the cables.
