Abstract
A toolless splice sealant device is taught. Briefly stated, a splice enclosure suitable for enclosing a splice or connection is utilized. Disposed in the splice enclosure is a sealant material. The splice enclosure has one or more compression buttons such that upon application of the splice enclosure to the splice, compression of the compressable buttons causes the sealant, through hydraulic pressure, to completely fill all voids which may exist, forcing the sealant around and along connector and wire. This thereby environmentally seals the splice and prohibits the contamination of the splice which may affect the electrical integrity thereof.
