The kit's pre-lubricated, sized, single-piece cover slides on and locks in place, making installation of watertight connections fast and easy. "The innovative design of the Homac splice and cover combination allows fast, easy and watertight copper-to-copper splice connections," said Mike Cawood, product manager for Thomas & Betts.
