splicing material has completely set. [Make splices in underground
distribution systems only in accessible locations such as manholes and
handholes.]]

Splices in underground distribution systems shall made [only in accessible
locations such as manholes and handholes,] with a compression connector on
the conductor and by insulating and waterproofing by one of the following
methods suitable for continuous submersion in water and [comply with]
[pass] ANSI C119.1.
a.
Provide cast-type splice insulation by means of molded casting
process employing a thermosetting epoxy resin insulating material
applied by a gravity poured method or by a pressure injected
method. Provide component materials of the resin insulation in a
packaged form ready for convenient mixing without removing from
the package. Do not allow the cables to be moved until after the
splicing material has completely set.
b.
Gravity poured method shall employ materials and equipment
contained in an approved commercial splicing kit which includes a
mold suitable for the cables to be spliced. When the mold is in
place around the joined conductors, prepare the resin mix and pour
into the mold. Do not allow cables to be moved until after the
splicing materials have completely set.
c.
Provide [heavy wall] heat shrinkable splice insulation by means of
a thermoplastic adhesive sealant material which should be applied
by a clean burning propane gas torch. Cables may be moved when
joint is cool to the touch.
d.
Provide a cold-shrink rubber splice which consists of EPDM rubber
tube which has been factory stretched onto a spiraled core which
is removed during splice installation. The installation shall not
