*
for increases in connector length due
to crimping. Insulation removal length shall not exceed 3 1/4" (83 mm) from conductor end.

*Note: This assumes that the installer has determined the increased length of an aluminum connector
crimped with a specific tool and die. Copper connectors do not require a length change allowance.

Carefully bend neutral wires back over binding (wire or tape). Press them against cables and temporarily
secure with vinyl tape.

Clean cable semi-con as shown. Place a strip of mastic around cable semi-con next to neutral binder. Fold
neutrals into mastic and place another binding wire on the other side of the mastic. Wrap two additional
strips of mastic over the first one and cover with two half lapped layers of vinyl tape. Fold neutrals over
mastic seal and temporarily secure ends with vinyl tape.
