4.3 Clean cables using standard practice:
a. Do not allow solvent or abrasive to contact the cable semi-conductive insulation shield.
b. Do not reduce cable insulation diameter below 1.04" (26,4 mm) specified for the splice.
c. The insulation surface must be round, smooth and free of cuts/voids. Sanding may be necessary, finish
sanding should be done with a 120 grit or higher electrical grade abrasive.
d. Make certain that the cable insulation is smooth, clean and dry before continuing.
4.4 Apply 3M
™
Red Compound P55/R on cable insulations, making certain to fill in edge of cable semi-con.
Do
not use silicone grease
(Figure 14).

Note: This core installs differently than other cold shrink products.
4.5 Position the splice body over connector area, aligning end of the splice body (not the core) at the center
of the tape marker.
Slowly
start to remove the splice core by pulling and unwinding the loose core end
counterclockwise, allowing only ¼" (6 mm) of the splice to shrink onto the tape marker. Carefully slide the
splice body off the tape marker by pulling and twisting until the entire tape marker is exposed. Continue
removing the core to complete the splice body installation
(Figure 15).
Note: The splice body ends must overlap onto the semi-con of each cable by at least 1/2" (13 mm).
Note: Do not push the splice body toward the tape marker as this may cause the end to roll under. If the end
does roll under, DO NOT use sharp-edged tools to pull it out as this could cut and damage the splice.
