24. Install connectors
Make sure connector has center oil stop.
After installation, deburr connections.
Note:
A Poly tape shield to PILC splice is shown in this instruction as
an example. Any cable combination discussed earlier can be used.

26. Apply SRM over connector
Remove backing from one side of a long strip of SRM. Roll the SRM
and remaining backing strip into a convenient size. Removing the
remaining backing strip, tightly wrap the SRM around the connector
and exposed conductor. Be sure to fill the gaps and low spots
around the connector.
Continue to wrap the SRM onto the insulation as shown.
Note:
If the connector diameter is larger than the insulation
diameter, apply two half-lapped layers of SRM over the entire
connector. Discard any excess SRM (long strips).

27. Apply SRM at black conductive tube step
Remove backings from the short angle-cut piece of SRM. Place tip
of SRM at black conductive tube step and tightly wrap to fill the step.
Overlap black conductive tube and OBT/Insulation and taper down
to meet OBT insulation as shown.
25. Clean connector area
Complete Steps 25-29 working on one phase at a time.
Using an approved solvent, clean the insulation as shown, paying
particular attention to the OBT/insulation surface.
