Tools and materials to weatherproof connections
To make a weatherproof connection you need the following tools and materials:
•
Pliers
• Utility knife
• Vinyl electrical tape
Note:
Vinyl electrical tape between the cable assembly and the mastic tape
makes future changes easier than mastic tape put directly on the cable. Vinyl
electrical tape as a cover over the mastic tape prevents the mastic from melting
in hot weather.
• Rubber splicing or mastic tape (also known as self-amalgamating, self-
sealing, self-fusing, non-vulcanized tape)
• Pencil or wooden dowel for small clearances
• Cleaning supplies (if necessary)
• Laptop running HotView software
