Weatherproofing the LP Ports
It is important to weatherproof both ends of the line protection unit.
1.
Begin to wrap the splicing tape. Start as close to the LP housing as possible. Stretch
and wind the tape back along the connector housing making very sure there are no
gaps in the tape.

Work the mastic putty into the area between the connector and the body of the LP.
Continue to work the putty to ensure a watertight seal.
