38. Apply shielding mesh.
Starting over the ground connections on the extruded
dielectric side of the splice, wrap one half-lapped layer of 2
inch
(50mm)
wide shielding mesh across the splice and tie off
with a slip knot to the PILC cable lead sheath.
Abrade and solvent clean cable jackets (or lead sheath) as
shown using an approved solvent.

Apply one wrap of red sealant over the body of the breakout
as shown.
Continue to Step 41.

39. Position non-conductive sealing breakout; shrink in
place.
Make sure that the full length of the fingers of the breakout
are over the extruded dielectric cable jackets with the body
extending over the splices.
Shrink in place starting at the fingers and working toward the
splice center.
41. Position wraparound sleeve.
Remove or tape over all sharp points to prevent puncture of
wraparound sleeve.
Remove backing from the wrap-around sealing sleeve and
center sleeve over splice. Slide metal retention clip onto
butted rails.

42. Install channels.
Slide the channels toward the center from each end of the
sleeve and over the retention clip. A minimum of 1/4 inch of
channel should be extended beyond the edges of the sleeve.
If channels slide on easily go to step 43. If channel fit
seems tight, continue with next paragraph.
As shown in illustration A, make sure flap is not pinched
between the rails. Push the sleeve up from the bottom and
down from the top while sliding on channel as shown in
illustration B. The idea is to flatten the rails together to prevent
the channels from binding.
