Claim:
1. An electrical junction encapsulation kit comprising: a twist-on wire connector having an electrically insulated housing having a cavity therein with a closed end of the housing having a pipe nipple with a fluid injection port therein and an opposite end of the housing having an open wire end larger than the fluid injection port with the injection port forming a fluid passage in an apex end of the cavity in the twist-on wire connector and the open wire end forming a wire access port to an opposite end of the cavity in the twist-on wire connector; a spiral coil located in the cavity and secured to said electrically insulated housing, said spiral coil having a flared base end with a wire opening and an apex end on the opposite end of the spiral coil with the apex end of the spiral coil having a fluid passage therein in fluid communication with the injection port with the wire opening in the base end large enough to receive a plurality of electrical wires to be joined in an electrical connection within the spiral coil in the electrically insulated housing through twisting of the twist-on wire connector with respect to the plurality of wires to be electrically joined within the twist-on wire connector with the fluid passage in the apex end of the spiral coil small enough to prevent insertion of the plurality of electrical wires through the fluid passage in the apex end of the spiral coil; a source of expandable electrically insulative sealant for in situ solidification within the spiral coil, said expandable insulative sealant stickingly adhereable to an interior surface of the wire connector when in either a fluid state or a solid state, the spiral coil and the plurality of electrical wires lockable securable to the spiral coil through an in situ expansion of expandable electrically insulative sealant from a liquid to an expanded and a solidified condition, said expandable insulative sealant in a pressurized hand holdable container; a finger operable nozzle connected to the pressurized hand holdable container for delivery of the unexpanded foam sealant to an internal region proximate an electrical connection within an electrical wire connector; and an injection tube having a first end connected to the pressurized hand holdable container and an injection end temporarily attachable to the pipe nipple of the twist-on wire connector wherein a release of the expandable sealant in the liquid flows from the nozzle in an unexpanded condition and a viscous condition through the injection port and into proximity of the plurality of wires in engagement with the spiral coil in the electrical insulated housing to where the expandable sealant forms the in situ expansion and the solidification to maintain the plurality of wires and the spiral coil in shielded engagement with each other and to shield the electrical connection therein from a hostile environment proximate the twist-on wire connector.
