How to Install the 10478 Jacketed Metal Clad Cable Connector (Set Screw Type)

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Thomas & Betts Jacketed Metal Clad Cable Connector (Set Screw Type) with a protective grounding sleeve. It covers cable preparation, connector assembly, and tightening procedures for Teck or jacketed MC type cables.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Screwdriver, Torque wrench

Supplies needed:

Jacketed Metal Clad Cable, 10478 Cable Connector, Protective Grounding Sleeve

  1. De-energize Circuits

    Before beginning any installation or maintenance, verify that all circuits are completely de-energized to prevent the risk of electrical shock. This is a critical safety precaution.

  2. Prepare the Cable Jacketing

    Strip off the outer cable jacketing to a length equivalent to that of the Protective Grounding Sleeve. Exercise extreme caution to avoid nicking or cutting the insulation of the conductors during this process.

  3. Install Protective Grounding Sleeve

    Carefully slip the Protective Grounding Sleeve over the exposed cable armor until it is fully seated.

  4. Insert Cable into Connector

    Push the prepared cable into the connector body as far as it will go, ensuring it reaches the internal armor stop.

  5. Tighten Set-Screws

    Tighten the set-screws to a torque of 35 in.-lbs. Alternatively, tighten them until the head of each set-screw is flush with the body of the connector.

  6. Tighten Gland Nut

    Tighten the gland nut securely. For hub sizes 2-4 inches (which includes the 10478 connector), the recommended torque is 1600 in.-lbs. Always refer to the provided torque table for precise specifications based on the connector's hub size.
