Patent ID: 8209855

Claim:
A method of splicing a pair of electrical cables together comprising the steps of: selecting a pair of armored seal members, each sized to slide over an insulated electrical conductor and each having a plurality of o-ring seals on one end thereof and a plurality of openings in the side thereof; selecting a crimp sleeve sized for crimping a pair of electrical conductors together; selecting an insulating tube sized to slide over crimped electrical conductors; stripping the insulation of each end of a pair of cables for splicing the pair of cables together; sliding each of said pair of armored seal members over one end of each pair of cables to be spliced together; crimping the selected crimp sleeve to one stripped end of said pair of cables to be spliced together; sliding said selected insulating tube over one end of said selected pair of conductors to be spliced and attaching one end of said insulated tube to one said armored seal member over said plurality of o-ring seals; crimping the other end of said crimp sleeve to the other stripped end of said pair of cable end conductors; aligning said insulating tube and attached armored seal member over said crimp sleeve; attaching said other armored seal member to said insulating tube over the o-ring seals on the end thereof; and filling each armored seal member with a sealant through said plurality of openings therein; whereby a pair of electrical cables for use in an adverse environment are spliced together.
