Back to my original question, as NJwirenut was asking, does the waterproof underground UF splice kit comply with the NEC? Is there such a rule for underground splices of UF cable?

I think that where possible, conduit is the best way to go so the cable (or conductors, depending on what is being used) can be replaced from one end to the other.
