Primary Kits

16. Q. Should we use heat shrink sleeves as supplementary protection over Super Kit connections?
.
A. Definitely not! The Super Kits were specifically designed not to require any assistance. The cable entrances are totally watertight, with a tighter and longer waterseal than on previous models. And the AmerSeal provides a full second seal over the interface to another connector. This not only saves the cost of additional materials, but also labor (= money), both during initial installation, and when troubleshooting. Observation of field installations suggest that it takes approximately 5 minutes to install a heat shrink sleeve. This cost is no longer necessary. Also, AmerSeal is easy to put back in place when reconnecting, even under the severe time restraints of operating conditions.
