Comprises two part pourable Epoxy or Polyurethane Resin, clear plastic mould and sealing tape. Two types are available.

Type Disa TRU for a through connection and Type TEE for a three way connection.

All connections are universal for cable sizes from 6 mm² to 95 mm².

The mould of the splicing kits are designed to accept split bolts or crimpits for up to 95 mm² cable.
