How to seal underground splices

supersport396
16 years ago

I had 6/3 put in 1.5in conduit, had to make two splices and made them in 4x4x4" sealed junction boxes, the tops are sealed good but the pipes running into the boxes isn't completly watertight,to me atleast. Connections were made with split nuts, wrapped tightly with rubber tape, then regular electrical tape.

Still..I would like some other way of sealing these connections from water and shorting..is there some kind of tar or grease I can put around the splices before I close the boxes and finish covering it up.

Thanks

Michael
