Question 4

Which tool is most appropriate for making a clean, waterproof splice connection in a direct-burial landscape lighting cable?

Accepted Answer

Heat-shrink solder connectors

Answer

Heat-shrink solder connectors provide both a solder bond and a sealed waterproof sleeve when heat is applied.
