GEL STUB SPLICE KIT (WITH CONNECTOR FOR STREET LIGHTING)
EASY-SPLICE™ “PUSH-ON” GEL STUB SPLICE KITS
Easy-Splice™ gel stub splice kits quickly and
conveniently insulate, seal, and protect stub
splice connections up to 1,000 volts. The robust
yet compact design is engineered to handle the
harsh environment of motor and many other
connection applications (including street lights).
The specially formulated material provides
excellent abrasion resistance, insulation
value, and UV resistance (see chart below).
In addition, the cap is clear allowing visual
inspection of connector positioning during
installation and connector performance during
service life. Each cap size is designed to fit a
wide range of cable sizes. The expandable
design keeps the cap as small as possible
allowing it to expand only as much as needed
to fit. GSS connector kits provide the fastest
installation. Simply slide the cover down over
the connection and snap the clamp closed.
No extra materials (greases) are required, the
sealant gel is already in the cap.
Common uses for the GSS connector are:
street lights, motor connection, irrigation
systems, HVAC, outdoor lighting, and over
wire nuts for a secure seal. Rated 105˚C. UL
listed.
The GSS-10 kit is designed for three phases
in one cap. It includes one gel filled cap, one
cap clamp, and one phase separator. The
remaining kits include three of each – one per
phase.

The Easy-Splice™ gel stub splice kit insulates,
seals and protects stub splice connections up to
1,000 volts and are frequently used for street
lighting connections. The specially formulated
material provides excellent abrasion resistance,
insulation value and UV resistance. In addition,
the cap is clear to allow visual inspection of
connector positioning during installation and
connector performance during service life.
The special three wire connector is perfect
for street light connections. There are two ports
that accept wires from #14 to 2/0
AWG (feeder
cable). Use the single port that accepts #14 to
#6
AWG to power the light. To install, simply
push the cover down over the connection and
snap the clamp closed. Corrosion protection is
provided by the sealant gel. The kit includes a
UL listed connector for use with copper and/or
aluminum conductors, a gel filled cap and a cap
clamp.
