There are three types of sheath sealing or breakout kits that I know of; poured resin, cold shrinkand heat shrink.

I guess I've always thought it was part of the manufacturers instructions to use them when you break apart the assembly in an outdoor environment.

I don't think this is in the "minimum" code.

It is typically sold by the termination manufacturer. http://multimedia.3m.com/mws/media/...jacketing.pdf?fn=ColdShrinkSiliconeRubber.pdf

Thank you for your response. We had a state inspector write us up for not using them on a compressor motor, inside a building. The notes area is blank where it states what code you violated, that's why I was curious, because I can't find a code that says where it is "Required", all I have found is where it says its "Recommended".
