Raytech is an Italian manufacturer that specialises in gel-based insulation for electrical connections: pre-filled gel boxes and joints that are ready to use straight from the pack, and insulating gels and rubbers for filling joints, boxes and enclosures. Rapid Joint LS uses the same radial-closing shells as the Rapid Joint power-cable joints, re-enterable only with a tool.

Why choose it

• Pre-filled with gel - nothing to mix, pour or wait for: the joint is ready as soon as it is closed
• Radial closing - the shells close around the connected conductors, so there is no sleeve to slide over the cable first
• Tamper-resistant - re-enterable, but only with a tool
• IPX8 - fully submersible and suitable for underground use
• Spacers keep the conductors apart inside the gel
• Safe gel with no shelf life - not classified as hazardous under CLP and halogen-free

How it is installed

1. Prepare the cable ends and join each conductor with a suitable connector.
2. Lay the joined conductors in one gel-filled half-shell.
3. Close the second half-shell over it: the shells lock radially and the gel closes around the conductors. To re-open the joint later, use a tool.

Where it is used

• Control and signalling cables in plants, substations and pumping stations
• Railway and traffic signalling cable repairs
• Buried or ducted control cables in wet locations
• Instrumentation cable runs where a quick, cold-applied joint saves downtime
