Splice Kit for 4/0–250 kcmil Power Cables

This 3M 85-16 resin splice kit joins underground power cables from 4/0 AWG up to 250 kcmil. The closed mixing pouch holds Resin 4N epoxy that cures to a solid black body rated for 1 000 V and 194 °F maximum operating temperature. It is built for direct-burial and vault installations where a permanent, waterproof joint is required.

Closed Pouch and Mold Simplify Field Assembly

The kit supplies resin, a plastic mold, pressure-sensitive adhesive-film sealing strip and sealing compound in one package. No external mixing container is needed; the pouch keeps components measured and contained until the installer activates the resin. The mold forms around cables up to 1.5 in outside diameter, freeing the technician from sourcing separate hardware or open-pot resin systems.

Handles 4/0 AWG Through 250 kcmil Conductors

The splice accommodates the full 4/0 AWG to 250 kcmil range with a single resin volume and mold size. Cables larger than 250 kcmil or with an outer diameter above 1.5 in exceed the kit's capacity and require a larger splice system. The 16.7 in mold length covers standard splice windows for the rated conductor sizes.

Questions about this item

What is the maximum operating temperature this splice kit can withstand?

The kit is rated for a maximum operating temperature of 194 degrees Fahrenheit.

How much heat does the resin generate during the curing process?

The curing reaction produces an exothermic heat rise that is noticeable but stays within the 194 degree Fahrenheit service rating of the cured splice.

What cable size range must the existing conductors fall within for this kit to be used?

The conductors must be between 4/0 AWG and 250 kcmil to match the kit's specified wire range.
