Cold Shrink Quick Splice Low Voltage QSLV-M

These splice kits provide quick, highly reliable insulation and protection for low-voltage cable connections. 3M introduces an alternative for insulating and protecting secondary low-voltage splices. The 3M Cold Shrink Quick Splice Low Voltage QSLV-M provides quick, consistent installation and impact resistance for direct bury secondary low-voltage applications. And with factory-installed mastic rings in each end of the tube, the QSLV-M offers greater range taking by accomodating a remarkably wide cable range with only a few parts.

Features

Three-core System - The QSLV-M insulators are specially formulated cold shrink tubes that are factory expanded onto a unique three-core system. The QSLV-M series tubes include a factory-installed ring of sealing mastic inside each end of the tube.

Two cores, one on each end, are removed from each tube after the insulator is positioned over the connector. These short core pulls allow for a faster, smoother installation. The third core is left in place in the middle, providing structural support to the tube, and protecting it against potential impact damage from sharp or heavy debris during burial.

This product is designed as primary electrical insulation for solid dielectric insulated wire and cable splices rated to 1,000 volts. It can be used for direct bury or submersible applications and is designed for secondary splices, either copper or aluminum. It also can be used for dig-in repairs, sheath repairs and insulation of transition connectors for in-line conductors.

In aerial applications, 3M recommends providing an added layer of protection to this product by overwrapping it with Scotch® Super 33+ Vinyl Electrical Tape or Scotch Self-Fusing Silicone Rubber Electrical Tape 70.
