5. Flare the braid slightly and push the
connector body onto the cable until
the connector snaps into place, then
slide the crimp ring forward,
creasing the braid.
6. Temporarily slide the crimp ring
back, and remove the connector
body from the cable to trim the
excess braid at the crease line, then
remount the connector and slide the
crimp ring forward until it butts up
against the connector body.
7. Position either the heavy duty HX-4
crimp tool with the appropriate dies
(.429
°
hex) or the CT-400/300
crimp tool directly behind and
adjacent to the connector body and
crimp the connector. The HX-4
crimp tool automatically releases
when the crimp is complete.
8. Position the heat shrink boot as far
forward on the connector body as
possible without interfering with the
coupling nut and use the heat gun
to form a weather-tight seal.
