How to Install the 1602A3R Loadbreak Feed-Thru Insert

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe installation and initial setup of the 1602A3R Loadbreak Feed-Thru Insert, including mounting, lubrication, grounding, and mating product connection.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

1602A3R Loadbreak Feed-Thru Insert, Stainless Steel Plate, Stainless Steel Hook Bolts, Stainless Steel Wing Nuts, Lubricant (supplied or ELASTIMOLD approved), No. 14 AWG Copper Wire (or equivalent), Suitable grounding connector

  1. Prepare for Installation and Verify Components

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. Inspect the contents of the 1602A3R package to confirm all parts (insert, stainless steel plate, hook bolts, wing nuts, lubricant) are present, undamaged, and compatible with mating parts. Verify proper fit with cable and/or mating products.

  2. Check Apparatus Bushing Well Bolt Height

    When installing the feed-thru insert in a clampable apparatus bushing well, check that mounting hardware does not protrude more than 0.500 inches (12.7mm) above the top of the bushing well. If bolts protrude excessively, consult the apparatus manufacturer for proper shortening methods.

  3. Inspect and Lubricate the Bushing Well and Insert

    Inspect the apparatus bushing well to ensure it is dry and free from all contaminants. Lubricate the bushing well, its outer well surface, and the bushing well interface and cuff area of the feed-thru insert using only the supplied lubricant or an ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant. Do not substitute other lubricants.

  4. Install and Align the Feed-Thru Insert

    Place the lubricated portion of the feed-thru insert into the apparatus bushing well. Rotate the feed-thru insert clockwise until it is fully seated; do not force it to avoid damaging bushing well threads. Once seated, rotate the insert counter-clockwise up to a half turn (180 degrees) to achieve the desired alignment. A definite stop will indicate the end of the adjustment range.

  5. Secure the Feed-Thru Insert with Mounting Hardware

    Assemble the hook bolts into the available upper bushing well tabs. Place the stainless steel plate over the threaded ends of the bolts, selecting the hole that allows the most vertical position for the hook bolts. Assemble the stainless steel wing nuts and tighten them securely by hand.

  6. Install the Electrostatic Grounding Wire

    Push a length of No. 14 AWG copper wire (or equivalent) through one of the grounding holes on the feed-thru insert. Form a small loop and twist it tightly, being careful not to damage the conductive shield. Connect the free end of the wire to the system ground using a suitable connector. Ensure the grounding wire does not contact the bushing interface, adjacent interfaces, or interfere with nearby accessories.

  7. Prepare for Mating Products and Verify Seating

    If immediately mating with an elbow connector or insulated cap, remove the protective shipping caps from the feed-thru insert. Thoroughly wipe the bushing interfaces clean of any contaminants and lubricate them with the supplied or ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant. Install the mating products according to their specific instructions. DANGER: Do not energize or submerge the apparatus with shipping caps on the feed-thru insert, as they are not insulated or watertight. Complete assembly of an insulated cap or elbow is indicated by no portion of the yellow band being visible when viewed from the side.
