Overview
Our Raychem HVSY-1520S series WYE Tap Splices can be used on copper tape, wire shield, lead sheath, and UniShield cables. HVSY-1580D series is used as a wye splice where the main and/or tap cables may be paper-insulated, lead-covered (PILC) cable; varnished cambric-insulated, or lead covered (VCLC) cable.
Our HVSY series is designed to seal against moisture ingress by including a branch clip and our heavy-duty heat shrink wraparound sleeve MBSM.
Key Features
- Internal moisture seals provide a redundant seal against water intrusion
- Splices accept a wide range of main and tap cable sizes
- Qualified to IEEE 404
- Compact shape simplifies cable training

FAQ
Frequently Asked Questions
Question: Are TE's Raychem HVSY Heat Shrink WYE Tap Splices part of the installation training schedule from TE?
Answer: No, since the application is very specific the installation training for these splices isn't included in our training program. However, you can ask for specialized support and training for this specific range. Learn more on TE.com/trainingcenter.
Question: Can TE's Raychem Heat Shrink WYE Tap Splices be installed in direct buried, manholes and in cable trays?
Answer: Yes, our Raychem WYE Tap Splices can be installed in different environments, due to their versatile and compact design.
Question: Are TE's Raychem Heat Shrink WYE Tap Splices compatible with compression and shear bolt connectors?
Answer: Although the basic design of HVSY joints can be installed just with compression H connectors and a soldering system; we have a special range of branch joints that can be installed with a special Y shearbolt connector.
Question: Can TE's Raychem WYE Tap Splices be installed with a tape shield or wire shield?
Answer: Yes, our WYE Tape splice can be installed with any of those cable types, as long as you follow proper installation instructions.
