Leakage Repair Kit - Removed From System2137 viewsThis leakage repair kit was recently removed from a system after a rebuild. It's just the right size for .750 cable. We're unclear whether the can-brand had any special leakage control properties, but we can guess it had special properties for the person who had to drain the can for this most important use.
This is not a staged photo: This REALLY came out of a system.

As you can see, very little effort went into burying the drops to a proper depth, much less any depth. Quite a trip hazard.
