3. The CRP 3 cable attached to CRP 3 will use the bottom two holes on line terminal posts
4 through 9.
4. The cables are attached to the posts using cable lock bolts (PN-5925G) (See Figure 5).
5. Insert the non-threaded end of the bolt in one of the two required holes and place the bolt
around the cable and insert the threaded end in the other required hole ( either
orientation of the cable lock bolt is acceptable ). Place a hex nut (PN-3245G) on the
bolt, and tighten until snug with a minimum of two threads beyond the nut.
Line Cables
The cables used in CASS
®
S4(29) are pre-stretched. They are supplied on reels, either precut
with factory applied fittings (in 1,000’ [305 m] increments) or continuous length to be cut in the
field and field applied fittings attached. The reels can be supplied with 2,000’ to 3,000’ [610 m to
914 m] of cable on each reel. The precut cable has a right-hand fitting on one end and left-hand
fitting on the other end. The cables are placed on the reel with the left-hand fitting placed on the
reel first. The right-hand fitting end for the cable must come off first and the end is painted red
for identification. When there is more than one cable on the reel, the last cable placed on the
reel will have the right-hand fitting painted red and also a yellow mark. This will be the first cable
removed from the reel.
Lengths less than 1,000’ [305 m] can be supplied with a factory applied fitting (right–hand fitting)
on one end, or the lengths can be cut from a continuous reel and a field applied fittings placed
on both ends.
Cable Splices
There are three types of cable splices that can be utilized.
•
Factory applied fittings with a turnbuckle (1” hardware only).
•
Field applied fittings with a turnbuckle (3/4” and 1” hardware).
•
Torpedo fitting.
Factory Applied Fittings with Turnbuckle
1. To assemble a factory applied splice, one of the two cable ends must have a fitting with
right-handed threads and the other cable must have a fitting with left-handed threads.
Place a mark 1-1/2” [38 mm] from the end of each fitting. On one of the threaded ends
place a turnbuckle (PN-5826). Attach the turnbuckle where it is held on the threaded end
by only a couple of threads.
2. Place the other threaded end in the turnbuckle.
