Cold Shrink Splices

3M™ Cold Shrink Shielded Splice Kit 5550 Series are for splicing 5 kV and 8 kV shielded, solid dielectric, power cables. Meets requirements of IEEE 404. Each kit contains all the materials (except connectors and optional ground strap) required to construct three (3) single conductor splices on Tape Shield, Wire Shield or UniShield® cables. Note: The kit can also be used to splice a shielded to a non-shielded 5/8 kV cable. Note: Cable sizes shown below are for standard insulation thickness. Final determining factor is cable insulation O.D.

3M™ Cold Shrink/Armorcast, Armored or Non-Armored Splice Kit 5551-3C-AC is for splicing 3/C, 5/8 kV shielded, armored and non-armored cables. Connectors are not included. Kits include armorcast structural material to reconstitute the cable’s armor. Meets the requirements of IEEE 404. Each kit makes one 3/C splice. Note: Cable sizes shown below are for standard insulation thickness. Final determining factor is cable insulation O.D.

For 5 kV and 8 kV Cable, Types SHD-GC, MP and MP-GC. The 8043-1 Kit can be installed without the use of heat or additional tools, and the cable returned to service immediately. 3M™ Cold Shrink Tubes, with the removable core, are designed for quick installation. Connectors are ordered separately. If regular power connectors are used, length cannot exceed • 1/• inches.

These kits are applicable for indoor and outdoor installations, including direct burial, aerial and submersible applications. Each kit requires at least 1 roll of 3M™ Armorcast Structural Material. For use with 3/C or 4/C Armor Power Cable (Teck-90) up to 1000 V. 3M™ 3/C Armored Power Cable 5730 Series accommodates a full range of cable sizes from 14 AWG–750 kcmil. The overall jacket diameter ranges from 0.62–4.00” (16–10• mm). Notes: • Connectors are not included in the kit. Use only CSA certified compression connectors. Vinyl or nylon butt connectors are preferred for 5730 and 5731 series. • Amount of armorcast needed is based on two half-lapped layers and 15’ rolls.

3M™ Cold Shrink Inline Splice Kit 5760 Series with 2131 compound, is designed for splicing shielded, 5/8 to 15 kV armored or non armored cables. It is used in cable trays, junction boxes and cable racks/hangers, as well as aerial and wet or dry locations.

3M™ Cold Shrink Quick Splice Low Voltage QSLV-M are open-ended tubular rubber sleeves with sealing mastic on each end which are factory expanded and assembled onto a unique three-core system. Two cores, one on each end, are removed after the QSLV-M insulator has been centered over an inline connector, allowing the ends of the tube to shrink and form a water-resistant seal. The third, center segment of the core remains inside the cold shrink tube, acting as a support structure. Sizing of the cores and tube, along with the sealing mastic on each end, is designed to accommodate the variance in connectors and connector crimping techniques and final dimensions without degrading the seal and insulating characteristics of the EPDM rubber tube, while also making core removal easy. Two diameter sizes will cover a range of 1 kV or less cable from 8 AWG through 1000 kcmil for copper and 8 AWG through 500 kcmil for aluminum conductors with crimped connectors. In aerial applications where intense UV radiation will be common and visual inspection is not possible, it is recommended to overwrap the tubing with Scotch® Super 33+™ Vinyl Electrical Tape or Scotch® Self-Fusing Silicone Rubber Electrical Tape 70. Note: Insulator may be used on cable sizes outside of the recommended range provided both cables are within the insulation O.D. range, and the connector meets the dimensional requirements shown in the table.
