Special provision page 221 provides requirements in item D for the Connector Block of the CLD.
The 2nd paragraph states that the female and male contact halves SHALL BE molded synthetic rubber, molded chlorosulfonated polyethylene (which is a rubber), polymer body or Department approved equal. The question is …Is PLASTIC an acceptable equal for the use of a CLD connector body material? Is there a particular chemical composition of Plastic permitted?"
