Klein Kooperie: Building on Strength with Metaplast Jointing Kits

At Klein Kooperie, we understand the importance of reliable and secure connections in electrical applications. Metaplast Jointing Kits offer a comprehensive solution for joining and insulating electrical cables, ensuring a safe and efficient power distribution system.

• Function: Metaplast Jointing Kits are pre-assembled kits containing all the necessary components for splicing and insulating electrical cables. These kits typically include:

  • Heat Shrinkable Sleeves: Made from a special polymer material that shrinks and tightens around the cable joint when exposed to heat, creating a watertight and secure seal.   
  • Insulating Mastic: A putty-like compound used to fill voids and insulate the cable connection point before applying the heat shrink sleeve.
  • Copper Earth Lug (Optional): Provides a secure connection point for grounding wires within the joint.

• Benefits of Metaplast Jointing Kits from Klein Kooperie:

• Convenience: Pre-assembled kits provide all the necessary components for a quick and efficient cable jointing process.

• Safety and Reliability: Heat shrink sleeves and insulating mastic ensure a watertight and well-insulated connection, minimizing the risk of electrical faults or short circuits.

• Variety of Applications: Metaplast kits are available in various sizes to accommodate different cable diameters and voltage ratings.

• Durability and Weather Resistance: Heat shrink sleeves offer long-lasting protection against moisture, corrosion, and UV rays.   

• Applications of Metaplast Jointing Kits:

• Underground Cable Joints: Ideal for creating secure and weatherproof connections in underground electrical cable runs   

• Building Mains Connections: Suitable for joining and insulating cables within building electrical systems.

• Switchgear and Panelboard Connections: Can be used to connect cables within switchgear or panelboards.

• Overhead Power Distribution: Certain kits might be suitable for overhead applications (consult with Klein Kooperie staff for appropriate use).

• Important Considerations:

• Size Selection: Choose the appropriate kit size based on the diameter and voltage rating of the cables you are joining.

• Following Instructions: Ensure proper installation by following the manufacturer’s instructions and relevant electrical safety regulations.

• Professional Installation: For high-voltage applications or complex installations, consider consulting with a qualified electrician.
