ROYSTON
SpliceRight™ Splicing Kit for
Cathodic Protection Systems
The Economical,
One-Size-Fits-All, All-Season Splice
What is the SliceRight™
System?
Royston designed the SpliceRight™ system to insulate, waterproof and protect low-voltage electrical connections.
It's the splicing kit that keeps your cathodic protection system intact.
SpliceRight's
tacky elastomeric insulating compound completely seals and waterproofs the connector area.
There's no mixing, heating or pouring. We've developed this compound based on our 50 years
of experience in corrosion protection.
The SpliceRight
system's resin-impregnated, moisture-cured, fabric bandage can be applied immediately
after applying the compound, unlike other methods which require hardening time. The
bandage provides mechanical protection for the sealant and sets in less than 10 minutes.
Quick installation time allows for immediate backfill.
It's Economical
The SpliceRight
system is the low-cost way to do the job right. It's fast, easy and effective, which keeps
your labor costs down. And if re-entry to the splice is necessary, the SpliceRight system can be removed without damage to the
cable or splice.
One-Size-Fits-All
With SpliceRight, you need to carry only one size kit to the site -- there's no need for
various-size kits. The SpliceRight system's green sealant fits easily around any shape or configuration quickly and
with no mess.
All-Season Splice
The SpliceRight tm
system can be applied in both hot or below freezing temperatures. And the green sealant
remains pliable, so it'll never crack if a cable shifts. The SpliceRight tm system's unique rubber encapsulating
material maintains its electrical resistance and physical properties without deterioration
during long aging or exposure to corrosive underground environments.
It's Easy-to-Use
Just cover, wrap and spray. See the bottom of this web page for full
instructions.
Handling Precaution
The adhesive in the bandage adheres to skin and
is difficult to remove. Using the gloves eliminates skin contact. However,
if contact does occur, the adhesive will harmlessly wear off in a few days.

Royston SliceRight™ Kit Instructions
Do not use gloves until the first WRAP step. Splice and adjacent
insulation must be clean and free of contamination.
|
COVER
- With your bare hands, apply the first piece of rubber by pressing and packaging it
around the splice.
- With the second piece of rubber, begin wrapping about the "V" area and use a
"stretch and wind" technique around the rest of the splice.
- With the third piece of rubber, stretch and wind, being sure to cover 1" or more of
the insulation of each wire.
|
 |
WRAP
- Now, slip on protective gloves.
- Open the foil pouch by tearing at the notch and remove the bandage.
- Wrap the splice with a combination "X-wrap" - "figure 8", being sure
to pass through the "V" area at least once.
- Temporarily secure the end with a clip.
|
 |
SPRAY
- Dampen this area with the spray bottle.
- Under normal conditions, the bandage should set
in less than 10 minutes.
