Accessory
5815-B Series Adapter Kits adapt the splicing kit tee
modules to specific cable sizes. The adapter kits include
silicone lubricant.
A T-Wrench accessory tool is available for use with kits
containing Connecting Plug(s), such as the 5815-S and
5815-T Modular Splicing Kits.
Part No. Part Name Description
5815-TW T-Wrench T-handled 5/16 inch hex wrench used to install a Connecting Plug into a Tee Module.
1.3 Product Features
The modular Splicing System features include:
• Modular Design - allows custom tailoring for
various splicing functions and configurations,
such as multiple taps, sectionalizing, dead-
ending, adding-on, etc.
• Bolt-together Components - allows dead-break
disconnecting and reuse of the connecting
components (connecting plug, dead-end plug,
connecting stud, etc.).
• Molded Conductive Outer Jacket - provides for
a fully shielded dead-front connection which
meets the requirements of IEEE Standard 592 –
"Exposed Semi-conducting Shields on High-
Voltage Cable Joints and Separable Insulated
Connectors."
• Kit Packaging - designed for industrial use, the
kits simplify the selection, ordering and stocking
of appropriate system components.
• Shield Adapter Kits - cold shrink design for
simple shield rejacketing. Kits provide all of the
components necessary for adapting the separable
connector to specific cable sizes and shielding
types of common industrial power cables.
• Voltage Test Point - the dead-end plug provides a
high impedance test point for safely checking the
de-energized status of the circuit.
2.0 Applications
For connecting 5, 8, 15 and 25 kV shielded power
cables to 600 Amp dead-front, dead break
installations:
• For splicing – 2-way, 3-way and multiple taps
• For adding-on
• For dead-ending
• For 600 Amp equipment (apparatus) connections
• For shielded solid dielectric (e.g. EPR and XLPE)
cables with extruded semi-conductive insulation
shield
• For power cable locations: Manhole, Vault,
Cabinet, Junction Box, Cable Tray, Direct Burial
• For submerged locations
• For sectionalizing cable systems
3.0 Installation
A torque wrench and one-inch socket is used to
tighten the insulating plug through the compression
connector within the tee-module body, onto a de-
energized 600 A bushing interface. A 3M
™
5815-
TW T-wrench is used for installing a connecting
plug into a Tee Module, for kits containing a
connecting plug (e.g. the 5815-S and 5815-T). Refer
to the 5815 Series kit instructions for details.
