5 Using a 3/16-in. hex-head driver or 3/16-in. straight blade screwdriver, loosen
the two seizure screws inside the housing.

locations as shown in the figure above. Make sure to tighten the connector
according to the manufacturer‟s recommended torque specification, typically 15
ft-lb to 25 ft-lb (20.3 Nm to 33.9 Nm), but not to exceed 60 ft-lb (81.3 Nm).
7 Using a 3/16-in. hex-head driver or 3/16-in. straight blade screwdriver, tighten
the two seizure screws from 15 in-lb to 20 in-lb (1.7 Nm to 2.3 Nm). See the
diagram in step 5 for the location of the two seizure screws.
8 Replace the end plugs on the unused entry ports and torque with a 3/8-in. hex
wrench from 50 in-lb to 60 in-lb (5.6 Nm to 6.8 Nm).
9 Attach the faceplate to the housing. Refer to To Mount the Faceplate (on page
27).
10 Attach the drop cable (RG-6 or RG-59) to the tap faceplate.
Important: For any drop cables that will have AC power activated, be sure that
power blocking device(s) are installed at the home to prevent AC from passing to
subscriber televisions, set-top converters, or FM receivers. AC power must only
be allowed to pass to the telephony equipment requiring it.
Note: Be sure to provide strain relief for the coax drop cable per manufacturer‟s
recommendation, and terminate all unused F-ports with 75
