The late W0AIH used to splice hard line by bending the two ends upwards, 
connecting the shields and center conductors, and slipping a plastic soda 
bottle over the whole thing.  Ugly, but cheap.

Interesting item I came across that looks as if it might help keep
feedline splices and other junctions outside dry.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B089XVCC21  My experience has been the best
way is to shield a junction directly from precip., but also provide
drain or evap. holes so the interior doesn't fill up with water from
condensation.
