Installation Instructions.

The 252LRJS is designed to terminate UD jacketed and non--jacketed cable having concentric neutral wires or copper tape

shielding. The elbow provides a voltage test point and an operating interface for connecting to an 12/20 (24)kV 250ampere

deadbreak bushing or accessory device. Designed with a fold down extension on the cable entrance for sealing to the jacket of

jacketed cable. When other types of UD cable are to be terminated, an appropriate Elastimold cable shield or grounding device

must be used.

DANGER

All apparatus must be de--energized during installation

or removal of part(s).

experience in such safety practices.

All apparatus must be installed and operated in

accordance with individual user, local and national

work rules and electrical standards.
For loadbreak products follow operating instructions.

All deadbreak connectors must be de--energized before

operating. All 250A deadbreak connectors must be

mechanically secured with bails when connected.
If this product is supplied with a protective shipping

cover(s), remove this shipping cover(s) and replace
