Raychem Rayvolve RVS kits are the easy, “roll-on” way to insulate and seal cable connections up to 1kV. The gripping force of the specially formulated EPDM elastomer combines with a high-performance sealant to form a reliable, water-resistant, insulating sleeve that is UL listed and CSA certified for direct burial applications over in-line compression connectors. In addition, RVS kits are well suited for evaluation in other applications:

• Residential junction blocks
• Connections to secondary network protectors
• Joint covers for “Y” connections in street lighting circuits
• Cable connection for overhead bundled cable
• Environmental seals for terminal lugs and insulated airport connectors

Four sizes of Rayvolve sleeves cover all common low voltage cable types from #8 AWG-1000 kcmil (10-500 mm2).

Consistent performance in harsh environments – such as extreme temperatures, atmospheric pollution, and ultraviolet light – has proved the reliability of Raychem terminations.
