Just built 1 for my progression test. We have to take battery strap or #2 solid out of the splice with a water seal and bond it to the system neutral present on all of our holes.
In Toronto Canada it’s the exact same, only difference is the lineman in my personal oppinion can make more Becaue they have more opportunity for disaster relief work and room and board pay
I haven't used my sheath knife and hammer in 30 years but I still HAVE them! I loved working underground, thanks for the memories.
Props to the guy who brought you coffee
Good ol transition joint. 💪🏽
Great video - I dare any water to try and get into that splice! Interesting stuff - now subscribed.
Peedlebum thank you
I’m a splicer out of Miami and great work

Chicago Splicer here 💪🏾💯
How did you make the braid straps on the lead side? Solder them to the lead jacket, or spring clamp? Video was so fast I couldn’t see
I held it down by binding it with bond wire
you forgot the red mastic over the finger tube and the lead end before the final outer jacket (zipper tube)
WhatIsThis dang it I'm gonna have to go back and redo it.

Great video thanks for the post
A heatshrink version of Inception, layers under layers under layers under layers!
we had lead , no more , everything is heat drink or wrap , love underground in city ....
Wow. I wonder why they crimp instead of weld the cables together. Interesting.
welding makes the cables brittle. soldering may expand and contract.
Crimping is the best way to preserve structural and conductive integrity
Brother, uds trabajan en ese manhole con los demás cables en frío o caliente?
Andres Rojas ambas maneras
Nice work brother. Nothing better then raychem heat shrink in a hot ass man hole. Lol
What’s cable splicer pay in so cal?
KAMP8505 lineman scale. So whatever lineman pay is that’s what splicers get
Same where I’m at. Might change though since apprenticeship is longer.

Any concerns about explosive sewer gases that may have seeped into that space? Espresso when you spark up the torch?
They probably tested it
You work with a gas detector, and usually a blower too
@@jefferylord3068 Blower was visible
I've never saw Lead chipped back like that.
That has to be the slowest most difficult way I've seen lead taken off.
Yeah I wouldn't do it like that. Seems like maybe he doesn't chio lead that often.
@@pumkinface1 you guys must be pros. I’d like to see how you do it
Two scores and a drill works. You can figure out what to put in the drill. Here’s a hint, it’s in the oh yard.
What company and are you guys hiring? Also, where in Cali?
Chun Woo local 47 books are wide open. Southern Cali
Good looking out, thank you. The Locals around Colorado are all pretty full. Sounds like a road trip is in order.
what if someone accidentally thinks he’s done and cuts the power back on 😱
Are all your cables laid in pits like these seems way to easy to fix and find faults, no fun!
Big Mike yes they go from vault to vault and fault indicator are usually installed
Carlos Machado id say 90% of our cables are directly buried so fault finding especially on LV can be difficult at times, but really fun.
This is not easy work. Would hate to do either in the cold or when it’s above 70F.
Oh
To fast not enjoyable
I slowed it down to .5 you can do that on your tube or .25 speed
Bad joint
Ur the only assh0le troll that said its a bad joint. U fucking idiot get a life!
