Ground system
•
Connect one concentric neutral wire to drain wire tab of
the T-body or use a separate uninsulated copper wire
(#14 AWG/1.6 mm). Refer to Figure 30.
Separable Splice Assembly Instructions
ote:
N
Use only the symmetrical aluminum (STUD-A) or
copper (STUD-C) stud in BOL-T separable splice
applications. Do not use the copper alloy non-
symmetrical extended length T-OP II (STUD-T) stud.
•
Prepare the cables and install the cable adapters,
unthreaded compression connectors, and T-bodies accord-
ing to the instruction sheet included with the T-body
(S600-46-2).
ote:
N
Before any component is installed, clean and
lubricate all mating interfaces using the supplied
lubricant. (i.e. T-bodies, insulating plugs, connector
plugs, and cable adapters.)
•
Obtain first insulating plug, if a stud is not factory
installed, hand thread a 5/8" stud into the insulating plug.
Insert the insulating plug into the first T-body, lining up the
hole in the compression connector with the 5/8" stud.
•
Insert the connecting plug into the open interface of
the first T-body and hand tighten to the 5/8" stud of the
insulating plug.
•
Secure the connecting plug by inserting a 5/16" hex
style wrench (HD625, HD635CP, or customer supplied
alternate) into the hex hole at the base of the connector
plug threads. Use a torque wrench to tighten the
connecting plug to 55 ft-lbs. Refer to Figure 31.
•
Insert the interface of the connecting plug into the
interface on the second T-body.
