How to Install the 10TL Adapter for Flat Metallic Tape Shielded Cable
This guide details the installation of the 10TL adapter for cables with flat metallic tape insulation shields, preparing the cable and integrating the adapter with an Elastimold distribution product. Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before starting.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Knife, Rag, Soldering iron, Wire strippers
Supplies needed:
10TL Adapter housing, Lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), 3/4 inch (19mm) wide PVC insulating electrical tape, Vinyl plastic electrical tape, Approved safety solvent, #14 AWG (2.08mm²) wire, Grounding lead, Elastimold distribution product
- Prepare Cable Outer Jacket
De-energize all apparatus. Refer to the Elastimold product instructions for the semiconductive shield removal dimension. Remove the cable's outer jacket a distance of 2 inches (51mm) more than this specified dimension.
- Remove Metallic Tape
Carefully remove the metallic tape, ensuring it is cut back to a point 3/4 inch (19mm) from the edge of the remaining outer jacket.
- Remove Semiconducting Tape
Remove the semiconducting tape, cutting it back to a point 1 inch (25mm) from the edge of the outer jacket, exposing the insulation.
- Apply Retainer and Marker Tapes
Wrap 1.5 to 2 turns of 3/4 inch (19mm) wide PVC insulating electrical tape over the semiconducting and metallic tapes, 1/2 inch (13mm) from the outer jacket edge, to create a retainer. Then, wrap 2 turns of vinyl plastic electrical tape over the outer jacket, 1 inch (25mm) from its edge, to create a tape marker.
- Clean and Lubricate Cable and Adapter
Clean the outer jacket and thoroughly clean the cable insulation using a rag soaked with an approved safety solvent, wiping from the cable end towards the outer jacket. Ensure all semiconducting residue is removed. Lubricate the prepared cable section and the inside of the 10TL adapter with the supplied lubricant.
- Install the 10TL Adapter
Slide the 10TL adapter onto the cable using a forward side-to-side twisting motion. Continue until the adapter is flush with the previously applied tape marker. The adapter's step will serve as a guide for subsequent Elastimold product assembly.
- Install Elastimold Product
Install the specific ELASTIMOLD distribution product by following its dedicated installation instructions. After installation, verify that the gap between the Elastimold product and the step on the 10TL adapter is no more than 1/8 inch (3mm).
- Remove Tape Marker
Once the ELASTIMOLD product is fully assembled, carefully remove the vinyl plastic tape marker from the cable.
- Ground Metallic Shielding Tape
Approximately 2 inches (51mm) back from the end of the 10TL adapter, remove 1.5 inches (38mm) of the outer cable jacket. Use #14 AWG (2.08mm²) wire to make several wraps, fastening a grounding lead to the metallic shielding tape. Solder the grounding lead to the metallic tape, being careful to avoid excessive heat that could damage the cable. After soldering, wrap the soldered area with electrical insulating tape, overlapping each cable jacket by approximately 1.5 inches (38mm).
