I am thinking not so much a splice but just put new heads on.
I am looking for a kit to do this with some single mode we have.

We have a customer with a small tower about 350 feet from their home
that was installed 6 years ago. Since electrical had to be run from
the home out to the tower, they opted to pull fiber (4-stand
Multimode) from the house to the tower through the same 2� conduit as
the electrical.
One of the above ground �pull boxes� (12x12x4�) at the house had an
extra hole in it that they plugged at the time of installation. Last
week they discovered that the hole plug had failed (seal problem) and
mice/rats had gotten in and chewed through the fiber (all 4 strands).
Coming one direction there is plenty of extra fiber to pull into the
box area to make a splice. In the other direction is only a couple
inches of slack so I have to go to the next pull spot (a 90 deg. right
angle) they need to pull a new section of fiber to that spot.
(approximately 30 feet). I am talking to a local contractor about
doing the splices for me, and he wasn�t sure he had a splice kit that
would fit into the 12x12x4� box when finished.
Is there a simple splice kit (for 4 strands) that can fit inside the
box that you can recommend?
