Q:Can these be used submerged in 175 feet of water.

1 Answer
Answer This Question

A:  Hi PaulT they are rated for underground which will get wet but will also dry out over time. These are not rated for being submerged for long periods of time. I am sure you can use them just not sure how long the connection will last hope that helps Ron at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com

    Answer This Question

    A:  Hi Frank yes look for the IDEAL 46-400 or 46-410 they are designed for that. The 46-410 includes a strecher that helps make up any loss of cable from cutting it. Good luck Ron at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com

      A:  Hi Moose #6 is too large for the connector you might try this one instead https://www.homedepot.com/p/Ideal-4-1-0-AWG-Thermo-Shrink-Underground-Splice-Kit-46-402/305452853 I am not sure if extending the wire like this will meet your local code though Ron at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com

          A:  The question was to splice 6AWG with a 10 AWG.

          by|Oct 9, 2019

            A:  Anthony the 46-401 you are looking at will handle the 6 AWG and look for the 46-400 or 46-404 will handle the # 10 AWG wire. Hope that helps Ron at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com

              Answer This Question

              A:  JKT I would tell you to check with your local code people. I am not sure they will let you splice the cable. These are designed for outside underground applications. Good luck Ron at ron.kipper@idealindustries.com
