Orient gun tube connector so machined flat is on
the same side of the cable as the red and white
control leads. Assemble gun tube connector to
cable by forcing the steel tube of the connector into
the inside diameter of the cable inner tube until the
copper strands are butted against the gun tube
connector shoulder. Keeping the copper strands
against the shoulder, pull the connector nut over
the copper strands, engage the gun tube connector
threads, and tighten in place. Refer to Figure 3.
NOTE: For best results, insert a .175”/.197” (4.5-
5.0 mm) diameter rod through the connec-

hold the connector in place while turning
the nut. Then remove the rod from the core.
This procedure ensures the inner core does
not kink while assembling or tightening.
