Abstract
A protective shell for a splice closure or the like has a flange base member and a flange cover member. A triangularly shaped ridge extends along each flange which hold triangularly shaped clamps in place against displacement, yet, in conjunction with the clamps, create room for the insertion of mounting hardware in the clamps. The closure is supported within the shell so that it is surrounded by space for an encapsulant. The supports for the closure are configured to permit passage of liquid encapsulant into the space between the-bottom of the closure and the base member.
