A splice for splicing opposed ends of mineral insulated cable, where each mineral insulated cable has a jacket surrounding a conductor, and mineral insulation insulating the conductor from the jacket, where the mineral insulation is recessed from the end of each mineral insulated cable, such that a length of conductor is exposed. The splice has an insulating sleeve disposed over a portion of the exposed length of each conductor, the insulating sleeve being positioned immediately adjacent to the mineral insulation. A sealant seals the insulating sleeve to the mineral insulation. A connector electrically connects the conductors at a point between the respective insulating sleeves. A cover covers the ends of the mineral insulated cables. |
