Abstract
An enclosure for an electric cable splice suitable for burial in the ground. An enclosure which provides moisture-proofing and mechanical protection for the splice. A pair of shells which slide together to form a box-like enclosure having a main compartment, an intermediate compartment, and an entrance passage. A pair of cables is positioned in the entrance passage with the cables passing through the intermediate compartment into the main compartment where the splices of pairs of conductors are located. Each of the shells has a quantity of sealant in the main section so that when the two sections are brought together with the cable splice there between, the splice components are completely surrounded by the sealant in the main compartment, and sealant is forced into the intermediate compartment around the cables.
