3M™ Cold Shrink Quick Splice Low Voltage QSLV-M These splice kits provide quick, highly reliable insulation and protection for low-voltage cable connections for up to 1000 volts. 3M introduces an alternative for insulating and protecting secondary low-voltage splices. The 3M Cold Shrink Quick Splice Low Voltage QSLV-M provides quick, consistent installation and impact resistance for direct bury secondary low-voltage applications. And with factory-installed mastic rings in each end of the tube, the QSLV-M offers greater range taking by accommodating a remarkably wide cable range with only a few parts. Benefits Fewer sizes to carry in trucks - The 3M™ Cold Shrink Quick Splice Low Voltage QSLV-M provides reliable performance over a broad cable range of 8 AWG to 1000 kcmil. The QSLV-M covers this broad range with just two sizes. No torch or tools required – The QSLV-M can be installed by hand without extensive training, special tools, heat gun or torch. Reliable sealing and long-term durability – QSLV-M insulating tubes remain resilient and continue to provide a constant interface pressure and a highly reliable moisture seal even after years of aging and exposure. These products have excellent wet electrical properties and resist fungus, acids and alkalis. These products have passed testing for ANSI C119.1. Features Three-core System – The QSLV-M insulators are specially formulated cold shrink tubes that are factory expanded onto a unique three-core system. The QSLV-M series tubes include a factory-installed ring of sealing mastic inside each end of the tube. Two cores, one on each end, are removed from each tube after the insulator is positioned over the connector. These short core pulls allow for a faster, smoother installation. The third core is left in place in the middle, providing structural support to the tube, and protecting it against potential impact damage from sharp or heavy debris during burial. This product is designed as primary electrical insulation for solid dielectric insulated wire and cable splices rated to 1,000 volts. It can be used for direct bury or submersible applications and is designed for secondary splices, either copper or aluminum. It also can be used for dig-in repairs, sheath repairs and insulation of transition connectors for in-line conductors. In aerial applications, 3M recommends providing an added layer of protection to this product by overwrapping it with Scotch® Super 33+™ Vinyl Electrical Tape or Scotch Self Fusing Silicone Rubber Electrical Tape 70.
