3M Resin In-line Splice Kits

Scotchcast Resin Splicing Kits While crimpits and split bolts mechanically splice buried wires on cathodic protection systems, a connection is not complete until it is sealed against moisture and corrosive chemicals. Scotchcast splicing kits provide this protection. They are packaged with all the materials necessary for encapsulating wire connections to provide total electrical insulation. The main component of the Scotchcast kit is a two-part epoxy resin. Because the resin is packaged in a specially designed mixing pouch, field installations are greatly simplified. The packaging ensures proper mixing ratios and makes clean-up unnecessary. Each kit is also provided with molded plastic forms and 3M electrical insulating tape to surround the wire splice. Once the resin is properly mixed, it is simply poured into the plastic form. The resin cures in approximately 30 minutes to provide a moisture-tight seal and electrically insulated splice. Scotchcast kits are available for a wide range
