Alternate Insulation Removal Method
The use of certain insulation removal tools may
require cutting the insulation back before installing
the cable adapter. After removing the semi-
conducting insulation shield, it is acceptable to first
remove 4 1/2” of insulation from the end of the
cable. Then put a 1/8” maximum chamfer in the
insulation and install the cable adapter.
Step 5
Install compression connector
●
●
Wire brush aluminum conductor and immediately
press compression connector onto the cable until the
conductor bottoms. Copper conductors do not need to be
wire brushed.
●
●
Rotate the connector so the spade eye faces
the bushing.
●
●
Crimp the connector using a tool and die combination on
the chart packaged with the connector.
●
●
Start crimping just below the first line from the spade
end of the connector.
●
●
Rotate each successive crimp working towards the cable
adapter. Do not overlap crimps.
●
●
Clean excess inhibitor from the compression connector
and cable adapter surfaces.
●
●
After crimping, the distance from the cable adapter to
the end of the compression connector must be between
6 1/2” and 7 1/4”.

Step 6
Install DT625 T-Body
●
●
Lubricate entrance of T-body and outside of cable adapter.
●
●
Push T-body onto cable adapter until the compression
connector bottoms on the housing.
●
●
If the cable adapter moved, reposition the adapter until it
is flush with the tape marker as shown below.

Step 7
Install LRTP into T-Body
●
●
Clean and then lubricate the mating 600 A interface of
the LRTP and T-body with the lubricant supplied.
●
●
Remove and recycle the shipping cap from the 200
A LRTP interface and the thread protector from the
alignment segment.
●
●
Insert T-Wrench into throat of LRTP and thru rotating nut
and engage alignment segment. (T-Wrench should not
rotate without entire LRTP rotating.)
●
●
Insert the 600 A alignment segment end of the LRTP into
the side of T-body opposite the apparatus bushing.

●
●
Carefully thread the alignment segment into the threads
of compression connector by turning the T-Wrench
clockwise until a positive stop is felt.
●
●
Continue applying clockwise force to the T-Wrench until
the pin connecting the alignment segment to the LRTP
shears allowing the T-Wrench and alignment segment to
rotate freely.
