Abstract
A metal housing for a splice case including a channel member and a plate which extends between the parallel sidewalls of the channel member. The channel member and associated plate thus form a first cavity, open at either end, in which a resilient splice case may be positioned. A passageway is also defined on the other side of the plate and between the outer portions of the parallel sidewalls. Flanges associated with the plate extend out of the channel member such that when the housing is securely positioned on a large pipe or the like, channel side down, the plate will be forced deeper into the channel member to further compress a splice case located therein. The rigid housing acts to protect the splice case and hold it in position.
