Wesco 46-400 Ideal Underground Splice Kit

Product Description

The WESCO 46-400 IDEAL is an underground splice kit designed for making protected, moisture-resistant electrical splices in direct-burial and underground wiring applications. This kit provides the components needed to insulate and seal wire connections that will be exposed to soil, moisture, and temperature variation. It is typically installed by licensed electricians working on residential or commercial underground feeder and branch-circuit runs.

Underground splice kits like the WESCO 46-400 IDEAL are used wherever a direct-burial cable must be joined mid-run, at a junction point, or after a repair cut. Common applications include landscape lighting feeds, underground service laterals, irrigation system wiring, and buried branch circuits. The kit is suited for outdoor and in-ground installations where connections must remain sealed against water intrusion over the long term.
