For Jacketed Feeder Cable Only:
For jacketed feeder cable, center mastic strip over cut-
back edge of cable jacket, so that it seals onto both the
cable jacket and insulation (Figure 4).
For Jacketed Feeder Cable Only:
If jacketed feeder cable is used, remove an additional
1/2" (13 mm) of jacket, leaving 1/2" (13 mm) of cable
insulation exposed (Figure 2).
A. Prepare Cables According to Standard
Procedures
1. Check to be sure cable sizes fit within the kit range as
shown in Table 1.
2. Remove cable insulation for length recommended
by terminal lug manufacturer; if no information is
available, remove for depth of lug barrel.
Note: If a split bolt connector is used, refer to Table 2
below for maximum split bolt size for each kit.
B. Install Lugs
1. Install and crimp lugs per manufacturer’s direction.
(See back page if 3M
™
Scotchlok
™
Copper Lugs are
used.)
2. Clean insulation (or jacket as applicable) for
approximately 6" (152 mm).
3. Bolt lugs together. See Table 1 for maximum bolt
length, and Figure 1 for proper bolt/lug arrangement.
C. Installation
Note: If moisture resistance is not required, proceed
to Step 4.
1. To gauge mastic build up in next step, temporarily
install lug cover over bolted lugs, leaving 1/2"
(13 mm) of lug exposed.
Note: Position lug cover so punched holes are
positioned between the two conductors (Figure 3).
2. Separate the cables and apply mastic strip around
insulation and between them at a position just onto
insulation (Figure 3).
For jacketed feeder cable, see
note below.
Build thickness so the overall diameter is
slightly larger than the observed inside diameter of the
lug cover. Press cables together and be sure that no
