SPLICE SLEEVE RETAINERS AND ELECTRICAL CONNECTION ASSEMBLIES AND METHODS INCLUDING SAME

摘要

A splice sleeve retainer for securing a sleeve to a leg of an electrical joint body has a retention axis and includes at least one connecting strap extending along the retention axis, and first, second and third coupling members secured to the at least one connecting strap at axially spaced apart locations along the at least one connecting strap. The splice sleeve retainer is configured such that, when the sleeve is installed on the leg and the splice sleeve retainer is installed on the sleeve: the first coupling member engages the sleeve at a first axial location; the second coupling member engages the sleeve at a second axial location nearer the leg than the first axial location; and the third coupling member engages the joint body to resist axial displacement of the sleeve relative to the leg.
