Heat shrink is installed over completed end cap as
follows:
1. Slide 3/8 in (9 mm) dia. x 6.9 in (18 cm) long
piece of heat shrinkable tubing (previously
installed) forward to completely cover bare cop-
per sheath cable (Figure F3). Using heat gun,
shrink the tubing over the exposed copper.
2. Slide 1/2 in (13 mm) dia. x 6.9 in (18 cm) long
piece of heat shrink forward and center over end
cap; heat shrink should equally overlap both ends
of end cap. Using heat gun, shrink the tubing
over the end cap. Use needle nose pliers to crimp
section of tubing past end cap to form a seal as
shown in Figure F4.
