Abstract
Splice closures can be readily sealed by wrapping the cables with a mastic and then forming an end for a performed closure by placing the halves of a split ring about the mastic and drawing the halves closed by a toggle fastener including an arcuate leg connected at one end to one half and joined intermediate the fulcrum and handle of a lever supported on the other half to squeeze the mastic about the cables as the halves are drawn together. The closure may be sealed to the ring by a rolling O-ring.
