Default splice underground romex

I sent the wife on a snipe hunt yesterday. She came home with the wrong
thing.

I need to splice underground romex 12-3 with ground. Four wires. I remember
a kit that had four brass tubes with set screws in a insulating holder with
a large gel filled heat shrink tube.

I couldn't find one in McMaster either, maybe I don't know the name. She's
off to the cites again today. Anybody know what to get to splice underground
romex? If you can get it at a big box store, I'll phone her. She needs the
exact name to tell mostly clueless help at these stores. Otherwise, I'll
order Monday. (I needed this yesterday already)

They make twist on, gel filled wire nuts for that kind of repair. I
recently had to use some for a well pump when someone drove a shovel
through the wire. I also used some self sealing rubber tape, and
brought the wires into the bottom of the tape, so water couldn't get in.
