3. Feed the cables/cores through the union.
If the installation uses only cores (i.e. no cable sheath) then
electrical tape must be wrapped around the cores at the position
at which it will engage the resin dam.
Use the length of the union as a guide to position the tape as
shown above (guide length “L”)

2. Remove any bedding or fillers from around the cable cores. If the cable cores have screens,
these should be unwound and then twisted together to form a single core.
This single core and/or any drain wires present should be sleeved with some heat shrink tubing.
Electrical tape MUST be wrapped around the tips of the
cable cores. This is to ensure the cable cores are
together and also to cover any sharp edges that could
potentially tear the Resin Dam during installation.
