Obtain a cable and remove the sheath from a 
6.5 to 7.0 foot (max. 7.0 ft.) section. Cut the 
strength member to a 2.5 to 3.0

both sides of the unsheathed section. 

Discard sheathing and scrap strength member 
according to local practice. 

Push and feed a 6.5 to 7.0 foot (max. 7.0 ft.) 
length of unsheathed cable into the express 
loop-through hole. 

     

 

Guide the strength members on each side of 
the cable loop under the clamps, using a 
Philips screwdriver to tighten the clamps in 
place. 

 

Use a 6 mm hose clamp on each cable to

Fit the rubber middle gasket around the 
cables. Push this gasket inward into the 
express loop port. 

     

 

Reassemble the previously removed plastic 
outer gasket around the cables. 

 

Put the previously removed metal 
compression plate back in place and retrieve 
the express port screws. Use the 5 mm (or 
3/16”) Allen wrench to secure the express port 
sealing components together in the express 
loop port.
