11/23/2023 0 Comments Underground splice kit for nomex wire![]() It is a lot better than the hardware stuff and well worth the extra money. ![]() I would however go to a good electrical supply house and get some shrink tube with the glue in it. I spliced some 00 aluminum main cable 10 plus years ago and it is still working well. Posted 15:24 (#2679826 - in reply to #2679776) Subject: RE: EpoxyĮpoxy splice is only way to keep moisture out The crimper splices should be copper, not aluminum. and I would do it that way and add - they make a mastic type black gooy tape and put that around the whole thing. and will turn out watertight and weatherproof?I can never decide if they are finished getting heated or not, but dont want to overdo it either. slide a shrink tube over each strand and cook them medium well done.and slide a large shrink tube over the whole cable right over the small shrink tubes and cook it till it looks like like leftovers fortten in the oven too long with my hand torch. Am I correct that I can go to hardware store and get bare 12 crimps and big and small shrink tubes, splice each strand with the same crimp tool I use for my wiring kit on the farm equipment. School Of Hard Knock - 13:29 Is that the same shrink tube for burrying wires as any other application?I have some 12-2 with a ground to splice and it needs to be spliced underground. I would solder instead of crimp the wires and put it in a water tight box with the shrink wraps inside. ![]() Is that the same shrink tube for burrying wires as any other application?I have some 12-2 with a ground to splice and it needs to be spliced underground.

So I would be thrilled to hear that the cable actually goes from the switch to a low voltage power supply in the 12-24V range, which then powers 12-24V LED lights at the pole. Right?īecause these defects would not be of concern if this circuit were less than 30 volts and less than 55 watts. ![]() This would be a hot mess if it were mains wiring. Rigid conduit requires only 6".ĭirect burial splices are not allowed except with certain splice kits designed specifically for that. But that is not a standard and has no force of lawĬopper is not a legal conduit wiring method, so it is irrelevant and it counts as direct burial.ĭirect burial requires 24" burial depth. Several vendors are choosing to use white for NM 14, yellow for NM 12, orange for NM 10 and gray for UF of any size. UF is rated for all three.įor direct burial rating, what matters is the lettering on the cable, not the color. It is not rated for outdoor, wet locations nor direct burial. What you call "Romex" is actually NM cable.
