can be installed into the top of the splice
trays if more working fiber is desired.

Route the drop and express bundles to the tray
and prepare as required.

SPLICE TRAY STORAGE
15.01
The center section is provided with ‘L’ shaped
supports and a snap to retain the bottom splice
tray. Additional trays are secured by a hook and
loop strap provided with the closure. See
Figure
11a
.
Note: the area beneath the trays is designed to
store unused fiber slack from drop cable bundles.
15.02
Fiber bundles can be routed and secured
through either end of the tray to maximize
working fiber lengths in express applications.
15.03
After splicing is complete and the trays are
stored, secure them by using the hook and loop
straps provided. See
Figure 11b
.
Note: Cables with dual outer strength members
are installed under the bottom plate. The top
plate is not required.

SECURING C-HALF SECTIONS
16.01
Prior to securing the C-Half section to the center
section, recheck the torque of each cable entry
clamp. Confirm that the bolts are torqued down
and the top of the cable(s) clamp(s) are even
with the top of the center section. (Cable clamp
torque is 23 in/lbs.) Check each cable retention
clamp and CSM clamp to assure these are tight.
16.02
Apply lubricant to the gasket surfaces of the C-
Half sections and tighten firmly the four (4)
captive hex head bolts. Use a 216 style tool (or
3/8” socket) and tighten inside bolts first then
tighten outside bolts. Refer to
Figure 12

Gaskets, and Photo 16

Halves

FINAL CLOSURE ASSEMBLY
17.01
Ensure that the fiber bundles are routed and
stored correctly, all central strength member
clamps and hose clamps are tightened, splice
trays are secured with the hook and loop straps
and that all bolts are checked for tightness.
17.02
Lubricate lip of the base (C-Halves and Center
Section) of the closure where the O-Ring will
make contact. Lubricate both sides of the O-
Ring. Refer to
Photo 17
– O-Ring Placement on
Base
. Slide O-Ring over assembled Center
Section and C-half sections.
