How to Install the 10TL Adapter for Flat Metallic Tape Shielded Cable

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 10TL adapter on flat metallic tape shielded cables with tape insulation shields. It details cable preparation, adapter installation, and grounding procedures for integration with ELASTIMOLD distribution products.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Knife, Wire strippers, Rag, Soldering iron

Supplies needed:

10TL Adapter housing, Lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), Approved safety solvent, 3/4 inch wide PVC insulating electrical tape, Vinyl plastic electrical tape, #14 AWG (2.08mm²) wire, Grounding lead, Solder, Electrical insulating tape

  1. De-energize and Prepare for Installation

    DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products. This product should be installed only by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment. Failure to follow these instructions will result in damage to the product and serious or fatal injury. Inspect all parts for damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating products. Ensure all required tools are at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure.

  2. Prepare the Cable Outer Jacket

    Remove the outer jacket of the cable. The removal distance should be 2 inches (51mm) more than the dimension specified for semiconductive shield removal in the ELASTIMOLD product instructions.

  3. Trim Metallic Tape

    Remove the metallic tape to a point 3/4 inch (19mm) from the edge of the outer jacket.

  4. Trim Semiconducting Tape

    Remove the semiconducting tape to a point 1 inch (25mm) from the edge of the outer jacket.

  5. Apply Retainer and Marker Tapes

    Wrap 1-1/2 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 edge of the outer jacket, to serve as a tape retainer. Wrap 2 turns of vinyl plastic electrical tape over the outer jacket, 1 inch (25mm) from its edge, to serve as a tape marker.

  6. Clean and Lubricate Cable

    Clean the outer jacket and thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of semiconducting residue using a rag soaked with an approved safety solvent. Always wipe from the end of the cable toward the outer jacket. Lubricate the cable and the inside of the adapter as shown in the product diagrams.

  7. Install the 10TL Adapter

    Slide the 10TL adapter onto the cable using a forward side-to-side twisting motion until it is flush with the tape marker. The step on the adapter serves as a marker for assembling ELASTIMOLD products.

  8. Install ELASTIMOLD Product

    Install the ELASTIMOLD product by following its specific installation instructions. A maximum gap of 1/8 inch (3mm) between the ELASTIMOLD product and the adapter's step is permissible after installation.

  9. Remove Tape Marker

    Remove the tape marker from the cable after the ELASTIMOLD product has been assembled.

  10. Ground the Metallic Shielding Tape

    Approximately 2 inches (51mm) back from the end of the adapter, remove the outer jacket a distance of 1-1/2 inches (38mm). Using #14 AWG (2.08mm²) wire and a grounding lead, fasten the grounding lead to the metallic shielding tape by making several wraps with the #14 AWG wire. Solder the ground lead to the metallic tape, avoiding excessive heat to prevent cable damage. After soldering, wrap the soldered area with electrical insulating tape, overlapping each cable jacket approximately 1-1/2 inches (38mm).
