For fast and easy splicing kits, 3M is the only company to offer such a wide choice of
technologies, including cold shrink, resin and heat shrink, so you can select the kit that
exactly suits your voltage and environment protection requirements.
1.
Cold Shrink™ Technology
3M Cold Shrink technology utilizes Cold Shrink connector insulators - a series of
open-ended tubular EPDM rubber sleeves which are factory expanded and assembled onto a
removable core. They're supplied for field installation in the pre-stretched condition.
The core is simply removed after the tube has been positioned for installation, allowing
the tube to shrink and form a safe, uniform, water-resistant seal without torches or
special tools.
2.
Resin Technology
3M resin splicing kits accommodate almost any type of splice, including odd-shaped
connections. The splicing kits have a high degree of mechanical strength for physical
protection of connections and provide moisture-resistant insulation in above ground or
direct buried applications.
3.
Heat Shrink Technology
3M Heat Shrink technology provides long-term, reliable performance as well as mechanical
and environmental protection. Heat Shrink technology combines easy handling and
installation with maximum operating reliability and system protection. 3M heat shrinkable
products come ready-to-use and easily slip over the item to be insulated. With the
application of heat. these products automatically shrink to a skin-tight fit, even over
irregularly shaped objects.
