Cable Splicing Kits
Hydro Bond Cable Splicing Kits, manufactured from an extremely tough and durable rubber, offer the customer an infield emergency cable splicing repair system. Four standard moulds are available incorporating specially designed flexible cable grips, which accommodate a variety of cable sizes from 5mm to 32mm in diameter.
Various types of moulds can be designed and supplied on request, I.e. multiple cable entry moulds and 'Y' splices, umbilical cable termination moulds and connector over moulding tools.
Hydro Bond Engineering also supply 'Hydro-Cast' a two component low viscosity cold setting splicing rubber. This material is supplied in pre-measured containers and obviates the need for operators to weigh out the components. Special instructions regarding preparation of cable and metal surfaces are supplied with each batch of the rubber compound.
This Hydro Bond Engineering emergency cable repair system has been devised to enable temporary repairs to be performed 'on site'. The system provides the best possible repair which it is practical to achieve with a cold setting rubber material.
Once the cable conductors have been crimped together and the sheathing prepared for bonding it can be loaded into the mould. The mould is treated with release agent, is opened in 'a book like fashion' and the cable inserted into position.
'Hydro-Cast' two component liquid rubber is then mixed together and poured into the entry slot and allowed to set (1-2 hours). The splice can then be removed from the mould.
