There are many methods and means of wiring the Tri-Clusters in a
light Circuit. Below are some suggestions and considerations:
Splices for Direct Burial
For direct burial in landscape installations, care must be given
to keep moisture from corroding the splices. In the first three
photos below, a simple displacement type 3 conductor crimp
connector is used. This connector is filled with dielectric
silicone grease.
|
A cap from a 35mm film roll canister was installed on the wires
prior to the connectors.
|
|
Silicone rubber sealer has been placed around the cap where the
wires pass through.
|
|
The canister is then snapped onto the cap and the assembly is
buried in an inverted orientation so that the air trapped in the
canister will displace any water which otherwise, if present, might
be inclined to flow into the canister. The silicone sealant would
have to fail first at any event.

Wiring in Cement and other Permanent Fixtures
When a Tri-Cluster fixture is mounted in any type of permanent
structure, consideration must be given to the ultimate need of
replacement of the fixture.
|
In the case of a mortared rock wall, in the example above, a
flexible PVC hose is fed into the rock containing the fixture and
will serve as a conduit in the mortar should fixture replacement
become necessary. The fixture is siliconed into the rock instead of
using a stronger adhesive. This also allows access and ease of
replacement if necessary.
