The new 3M™
Cold Shrink QS4 Integrated Splice Kit is a premier
offering that utilizes our field-proven 3M™
Cold Shrink QS-III Splice
Body with additional features that make installation quick and easy.
This exciting new product integrates all of the layers of a shielded
power cable splice into one compact joint. With this splice, 3M is
introducing our new easy-to-use yellow core and new rejacketing
tube. We incorporated our smooth-edged shield sock (non-fraying
ends) with optional customizable ground braid.
Product Features and Benefits
Simpler Installation
Integrated Design: The challenge of installation in tight spaces can be
solved with this product’s shorter parking space. With few components,
the installation process is simplified.
Easy-Pulling Installation Core: The new, easier-unwinding, smooth-
edged yellow core provides for a simpler installation of the splice with
less effort, and less wear and tear on the hands.
Efficient Rejacketing: The QS4’s integrated rejacketing eliminates
additional core and reduces the overall parking space required during
installation. The yellow slider sleeve eliminates the need for messy grease
to help the installation of the rejacketing tube.
Customizable Grounding: Some configurations of the new splice come
with a factory-installed ground braid that can be customized for specific
application needs or work practices, reducing field prep time.
Smooth-Edged Shielding: The smooth-edged shield sock means
virtually no fraying or sharp edges to deal with during installation.
Proven Reliability
Built upon 3M’s field-proven QS-III Cold Shrink splice body, the QS4
splice is specifically designed for the rigors of the IEEE electrical system.
Every splice is factory-tested.
Additional Features
The sock is short circuit tested for 10 cycles at 40kA.
The sock is equivalent to a 1/6 neutral on a 1000 kcmil cable or a 1/3
neutral on a 750 kcmil cable.
