It is pretty common to have the silicone gel right in the connector
with underground splices. The mechanical pressure will squeeze it out
of the actual joint but leave the rest of the connector flooded with
silicone.


It is also useful for prelubricating new water pump impellers, a trick
learned from my diesel mechanic. It helps with insertion and also
prevents dry start wear and tear.
