Abstract
A splice case or vault end closure assembly which includes an inner plate having an inner face, an outer face, and a plurality of apertures arranged in a generally hexagonal array communicating between the faces. An annular recess surrounds each aperture in the outer face and a resilient gasket is partially received in each of these recesses. An outer plate is also provided having an inner face, an outer face, and a plurality of through apertures adapted to register with the inner plate apertures. The inner and outer plates are positioned such that the inner plate outer face is in an opposed relationship to the outer plate inner face with the outer plate inner face contacting the gaskets disposed in the inner plate recesses. Means are provided for drawing the plates toward each other in a controlled fashion to longitudinally compress and radially expand the gaskets into the apertures.
