How to Install 161LR/162LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of Elastimold 161LR and 162LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors on various underground distribution cables.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Probe wrench, Wire brush, Crimp tool, Wire strippers, Hotstick, Vinyl tape
Supplies needed:
161LR/162LR Elbow Connector Housing, Compression lug, Probe, Lubricant (supplied), No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper grounding wire, Neutral wire connector, Cold shrink tube (if applicable), Conductive copper tape (if applicable)
- Perform Safety Checks and Initial Inspection
Ensure all apparatus in the work area are de-energized. Inspect all package contents, components, and mating parts for damage, proper fit, and compatibility. Verify the probe threads freely into the compression lug for approximately four turns before becoming snug.
- Prepare the Cable for Termination
Train the cable to ensure adequate slack for operation. Cut the cable squarely at the bushing centerline. Based on cable type, remove the outer jacket (e.g., 9-5/8" for jacketed concentric neutral) and/or copper tape shield (e.g., 7-1/8"). Unwrap and bind neutral or drain wires as required. If using a cold shrink sealing kit, slide the tube onto the cable loose end first.
- Prepare Conductor and Install Compression Lug
Remove the insulation shield and insulation 2-1/8" (55mm) from the cable end, cutting squarely without nicking the conductor. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors immediately. Install the compression lug, rotating to spread inhibitor, and align its threaded hole with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug according to the manufacturer's chart, starting at the crimp line and rotating 180 degrees for successive crimps. Carefully wipe off excess inhibitor.
- Complete Insulation Preparation
Remove the insulation shield 6-7/8" (175mm) from the cable end. Bevel the insulation end a maximum of 1/8" (5mm). Thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of dirt or excess inhibitor.
- Assemble the Elbow Housing
Lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing with the supplied lubricant; DO NOT SUBSTITUTE. Slide the elbow connector onto the cable using a back-and-forth twisting motion. Wipe off all excess lubricant.
- Install and Tighten the Probe
Align the elbow with the compression lug's threaded hole. Thread the probe into the lug by hand, ensuring it turns freely for approximately four turns before becoming snug. Tighten the probe with the supplied wrench until the wrench bends, indicating proper torque.
- Connect Grounding and Neutral Wires
Insert one end of a separate No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent through the grounding eye on the elbow and twist tightly, taking care not to damage the eye. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector, ensuring adequate slack for elbow operation.
- Connect Elbow to Bushing Plug
CONFIRM THAT TRANSFORMER AND ELBOW ARE DE-ENERGIZED. Lubricate the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing with the supplied lubricant. Securely fasten a hotstick to the loadbreak connector pulling eye and connect the elbow to the bushing with a fast, firm, straight motion. DO NOT OPERATE BY HAND.
