Hi All,

I have an SWA resin joint to do, although the two cables are different sizes (35 and 50mm), the cables are existing and buried under tarmac.

Is there a torpedo kit which will let me terminate two different size cores?

I know the DNO near me tighten a bolt down onto the core using a socket, something like that would be ideal.

Many thanks.
 
Never used these mechanical joints, are they any good? Only ever used weak-backs or crimps.

As for gel filled joints, I wouldn’t entertain them for an UG joint any ground settlement will destroy the joint.
 
used mechanical joints and never had any problems ,thro. crimps ok if you can get the crimper head in ok ,weak back ferules got to be best if youve still got your solder pot and a couple ladles (and nowdays fire extinguishers hot work permits method statements )
 
No way you could get away with doing any hot joints on a site these days!, crimped or mechanical only, it's grief enough sneaking a grinder on site! ( I cut all me containment with one!) crimped joints are spot on but if I had to joint two different sizes it would always be mechanical with snap off bolts. They are also standard issue to the DNO so I trust em!
