7. Position OBT; shrink in place.
Place a CLEAR Oil Barrier Tube (OBT) over each phase, butted
to the lead sheath (or belt paper) cutback. Shrink the three OBTs
in place starting at the lead sheath cutback.
Note:
To achieve a smooth, wrinkle-free installation, use a
reduced flame to install the thin-walled OBT.
