Anyone use a splice "hammock" for a PLP Armadillo closure. There a plastic mesh and craddle the splice. Any idea where to get them? The boss thinks there the greatest thing!! Thanks

Are you talking about the nice mesh wraps with the 3 straps .. they come in nice colors (blue, red, black, green etc) depending on the length and diameter you need ?
I agree very sweet wraps..
I had thought they were a PLP product ?

Ive been seaching PLP and cant find anything. None of our suppliers know what iam talking about. They are nice.

Hey line052, welcome to the site. Nice to see another CF lineman around

I thought those were PLP products as well.

What part of BC are you from and what are you doing now?

I saw these things many times at the Bell store in the splicer's section, but I never saw one in use... How do you use that? Any pictures???

I was looking at one in my truck today, just says Made in Canada, a patent number, and the size 6.5R
So, that doesnt help much.. Im gonna have to go invade our stores and see what the boxes say..

Arfffffffffffffffffff... I've been searching for the past 45 minutes and I found nothing...

Nothing at PLP
Nothing at 3M
Nothing at Tyco
Nothing on Google Images using: Splice hammock, splice net, splice mesh, splice wrap, pressurized splice net hammock and mesh...

I will ask the store keeper at the Bell store if I go get some stuff this week...

Must be nice to have a storeroom attendant, or a storeroom. We just order our stuff and mail media just drops the boxes in our office for us to stock our trucks.

Thanks for all the help!!!!!!! Any info you find would be great!!!!!!!

[Dave72]

I googled the patent number and its credited to some guys in BC, Canada.
Found out today the manuf/supplier is SPLICOM INTL LTD in Langley BC.
I google streetviewed the address given and it appears to be a house (lol).
There is no web site for them that I can find.

So, my best guess is, some splicer determined that this kind of bag would be
cool to have... patented it, makes it in his basement and sells them somewhere
in the vendor chain.

You've seen em, Ive used a bunch.. they're certainly pro quality. I was
somewhat surprised to see just a house in a nice neighbourhood as the manufacturer.. lol
Guess ya never know..

I dont imagine the guy would mind someone phoning the number for Splicom to ask
where you could get some of his product.

I talked to a few of our splicers and the only mesh they can think of comes with the XYAGA kits.
