Product information
Introduction
Eaton manufacturers its Cooper Power™ series EZ II™ 
splice in accordance with the IEEE Std 404™-1993 standard 
for cable joints. 
The splice provides a permanent, fully shielded, fully 
submersible cable joint. The EPDM peroxide-cured rubber 
provides a highly reliable cable joint that can be used for the 
repair or extension of underground feeders in direct burial, 
conduit, or vault applications.
The splice is designed to accept wide cable ranges. The  
2-1/8" (54 mm) long aluminum compression connector 
is sized to ensure maximum current transfer and a cool 
running connection. The connector is a field proven design 
that accepts copper or aluminum conductors.

Acceptance and initial inspection
Each splice is in good condition when accepted by the 
carrier for shipment. Upon receipt, inspect the shipping 
container for signs of damage. Unpack the splice and 
inspect it thoroughly for damage incurred during shipment. 
If damage is discovered, file a claim with the carrier 
immediately.
Handling and storage
Be careful during handling and storage of the splice to 
minimize the possibility of damage. If the splice is to be 
stored for any length of time prior to installation, provide a 
clean, dry storage area.

Installation
Installation requires standard cable stripping and crimp 
tools. After cables are prepared, the splice body is posi-
tioned onto cable #1 of the prepared cables. 
The conductors are then crimped together with the supplied 
compression connector. The splice body is then centered 
using the raised areas on the cable entrances as centering 
guides.
Tie off a concentric neutral to the drain wire tab on each 
side of the splice and jumper the remaining concentric 
neutral wires across the splice body, using the appropriate 
crimp connector. (A jacketed concentric neutral cable may 
require jacket replacement across the splice.)
