Well, you're right about the tap plate being loose. I'd pulled it to put a short on that leg and wasn't finished with the run. As far as sweeping goes, I was doing that too, so the tap plate wasn't missed. Shrink, or bishop tape? That's no more than an insurance policy for incompentent splicers. If you have good water tight connectors and apply a little grease on them, you don't need the shrink. It's just a waste of time and money.

> > > well john, not sure but the tap looks like its loose, one screw anyway. suckout on the sweep waiting to be found. id say the sweeper should see that when he gets there but 6 in 10 sweepers actually knows what that thingy with the 4 barrels is called so lol...
> > > shrink and bishop tape of course. kinda scarrrrrrrrrrry seeing the 90s and 180s being as in my exp. 1 in 10 splicers actually gets them tight. can you get into all the dustcaps?
> > > is that the S.A. amps that only need a few housing bolts tight lol? ok so now are you gonna hate me and call me names too hehe. yo man an eagle never flies so high that his balls never hits the ground. be cool and good day
