A proven design. A game-changing transformation.
For over 70 years, Richards has remained dedicated to manufacturing high-quality, innovative products for electrical distribution systems. The Cold Shrink Hammerhead epitomizes this legacy by introducing a truly unique, robust solution for terminating and splicing medium voltage power cable. We’ve taken our industry-leading 600/900A Deadbreak Elbow design and given it a cutting-edge transformation.
