Special Features | Power Cable Joints utilize permanently crimped connectors. PCJ housings are fully insulated, shielded and sealed for direct-burial, vault, submersible and other servere service applications. Units have been designed and tested per IEEE Standard 404 to ensure system matched performance and ratings equal to the cable to which the splice will be installed. Power Cable Joints are available in two styles. Style 1 uses a single-piece housing that is sized to accommodate a specific range of cable - ideally suited to straight splicing of the same or similar cable. Style 2 designs incorporate a universal housing with separate cable adapters to allow transition splices of different types and sizes of cable |

How to Install the 15/25/35PCJ2WXXXX---RC Straight Joint
This guide provides detailed instructions for the permanent, fully shielded, and submersible installation of the 15/25/35PCJ2WXXXX---RC straight joint for aluminum and/or copper conductor, wire shielded cables. Ensure all safety precautions are followed.
Estimated time: 2h
Tools needed:
Cable stripping guide, Hex wrench, Wire brush, Crimping tool
Supplies needed:
Joint Housing, Splice (Conductor Contact), Cable Adapters, Lubricant, Retaining Collars, Hose Clamp, Electrical tape, Appropriate electrical connector, #14 AWG copper wire (if needed), Heat/cold shrink kit (for cable jacket reconstruction)
- Prepare Cables and Install Housing
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized. Using a stripping guide, carefully remove the cable jacket of both cables for a distance of 11-1/4” (285.7mm). Fold back shield wires and tape the end of wires on Cable 1 to the jacket, allowing enough extra length for later rejoining. Clean the surface of the insulation shield, shield wires, and jacket for a distance of 30” (760mm). Slide the joint housing onto Cable 1 to a distance of 30” (760mm).
- Prepare Cable Insulation
Using the stripping guide, carefully remove the insulation shield and cable insulation. DO NOT CUT OR NICK THE INSULATION, as this could result in failure. Wrap two turns of electrical tape 1” (25mm) from the edge of the insulation shield as a marker on both cables. Clean the cable insulation, then lubricate it to provide a build-up or ramp of lubricant at the edge of the insulation shield.
- Install Cable Adapters
Take one cable adapter and lubricate the inside of both ends. Install the cable adapter onto the prepared cable until it meets the tape marker. Repeat this process for the other cable adapter on the second cable.
- Install Retaining Collars
Select the retaining collar and partially thread the proper size setscrews (refer to instructions packaged with the collars). Position the retaining collar over the insulation and flush against the cable adapter. Using the supplied hex wrench, tighten each set screw only one or two turns at a time to keep the collar centered over the insulation. Continue to tighten the set screws until they are below the surface of the collar. Repeat for Cable 2.
- Install the Splice
Thoroughly clean the end of the cable adapters and the cable where shown. Install the hose clamp around the adapter on the opposite side of the splice from where the housing is stored to hold the adapter in place during final assembly. Tape over the hose clamp to form a smooth surface. Wirebrush the exposed conductors of both cables and immediately insert them into the splice. Ensure the “Check” dimension does not exceed 8-1/2” (215mm); if it does, redo the assembly. Crimp the splice following the recommendations provided with it. Wipe off all excess inhibitor, then check the distance between cable adapters. If it exceeds 8-3/4” (222mm), redo the assembly. Clean and lubricate the outside surface of the cable adapters before sliding the housing into its final position.
- Complete Joint Assembly and Grounding
Slide the housing into its final position, centering it over the cable adapters. Remove all tape, ensuring cable and adapter insulation are not exposed after positioning the joint. Reshape the shield wires and secure them to the ends of the joint as shown. Insert one of the shield wires from Cable 1 (if #14 AWG or larger) through the joint grounding eye; repeat for Cable 2. If shield wires are smaller than #14 AWG, use a separate #14 AWG copper wire or equivalent. Connect the joint grounding wires and remaining shield wires using an appropriate connector. Reconstruct the cable jacket (where applicable) over both cables and also over the joint housing using a heat or cold shrink kit (not included).
