How to Install 161LR/162LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of 161LR and 162LR Loadbreak Elbow Connectors, including cable preparation, elbow assembly, grounding, and connection to a bushing.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Probe Wrench, Crimp tool, Wire brush, Cable cutting tool, Wire strippers, Hotstick, Vinyl tape

Supplies needed:

161LR or 162LR Elbow Connector (Housing, Compression Lug, Probe), Lubricant (supplied with kit), UD Cable (appropriate type), Cold shrink tube (if using specific sealing kits), Conductive copper tape (if using specific sealing kits), No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm copper wire or equivalent, Appropriate connector (for neutral wires), Insulated cap (if removing from bushing)

  1. Perform Initial Inspection and Cable Training

    Inspect package contents for completeness and damage. Check all components for proper fit. Read entire installation instructions before starting. Train cable to ensure slack for ease of operation and connection of neutral to tank ground. DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation.

  2. Prepare Cable for Lug Installation

    Prepare the cable end by removing the outer jacket and/or copper tape shield as required for your specific cable type (refer to Step 1 sections A-D in the full documentation for precise measurements). Cut the cable squarely at the bushing centerline. Unwrap and bind neutral or drain wires as specified. Remove insulation shield and insulation 2-1/8” (55mm) from the cable end, cutting squarely without nicking the conductor. Bevel the insulation end 1/8” (5mm) maximum. Thoroughly clean the insulation.

  3. Install Compression Lug

    Wire brush bare aluminum conductors immediately. Install the compression lug, rotating to spread inhibitor. Position the lug so the contact threaded hole aligns with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug starting at the crimp line mark, rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Carefully wipe off excess inhibitor from the outside of the lug and cable.

  4. Assemble 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 with a back and forth twisting motion, then wipe off all excess lubricant. 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 with the probe wrench until the wrench bends.

  5. Ground the Elbow

    Insert one end of a separate copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm or equivalent) through the grounding eye on the elbow. 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 in wires for elbow operation. If using a cold shrink grounding kit, refer to the instructions supplied with that kit to complete the installation.

  6. 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. Insert the probe tip approximately 2” (50mm) into the bushing, then immediately push the elbow home with a fast, firm, straight motion to engage the internal lock on the elbow connector and bushing interface. DO NOT OPERATE BY HAND.
