How to Install 161LRJS/162LRJS Loadbreak Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the installation and assembly of 161LRJS and 162LRJS Loadbreak Elbow Connectors with Jacket Seal on UD cable, including cable preparation, elbow assembly, and neutral connection.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Probe wrench, Hotstick, Cable cut back template, Wire brush, Crimp tool, Vinyl tape
Supplies needed:
Elbow Connector Housing, Compression Lug, Probe, Lubricant (Do Not Substitute), Mastic sealing strips, No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm copper wire, Appropriate neutral connector, UD cable
- Prepare for Installation and Safety Checks
DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Inspect all package contents and components for completeness, damage, proper fit, rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Check threads by threading the probe into the compression lug; replace if resistance is encountered. Read all instructions and have required tools ready. If installing a 162LRJS, lubricate and install the test point cap if not already present.
- Train and Prepare Cable Jacket and Neutral Wires
Train the UD cable to ensure sufficient slack for ease of operation. Mark the bushing centerline with tape and pull extra cable 24-26 inches beyond the centerline to provide extra length for neutral wires. Remove the outer jacket 7 3/4 to 8 inches back from the centerline. Unwrap the neutral wires back past the bushing centerline. Cut the excess cable squarely at the bushing centerline. Wrap one mastic strip, stretching slightly, around the jacket. Bend all neutral wires straight back over the mastic and along the cable, pressing them into the mastic. Wrap a second mastic strip completely around the outer jacket, overlapping the imbedded neutral wires. Use a third strip if needed to build up the outer diameter, then cover all mastic with vinyl tape.
- Prepare Cable Insulation and Crimp Lug
Remove the insulation shield and insulation from the cable end, cutting squarely and taking care not to nick the conductor. Wire brush bare aluminum conductors and immediately install the compression lug. Rotate the lug to spread inhibitor. Position the compression lug so its contact threaded hole aligns with the bushing bore. Crimp the lug according to the crimp chart, starting at the crimp line mark and rotating 180 degrees for each successive crimp. Carefully wipe excessive inhibitor from the outside of the lug and cable. Remove the insulation shield as shown in the template and bevel the insulation end a maximum of 1/8 inch. Thoroughly clean the insulation to remove all traces of conductive residue.
- Assemble Elbow Housing and Probe
Lubricate the cable insulation and the inside of the elbow housing with the supplied lubricant; DO NOT SUBSTITUTE. Keep the insulation clean and free of dirt. Slide the elbow connector onto the cable using a back-and-forth twisting motion. Wipe off all excess lubricant. Align the elbow with the compression lug’s threaded hole. Thread the probe into the lug by hand, taking care not to cross-thread. The probe should turn freely for approximately four turns before becoming snug. Tighten the probe with the wrench until the wrench bends.
- Connect Concentric Neutral
Pull the hood over the concentric neutral seal area on the cable by pulling the tabs and/or rolling the seal down. Insert one end of a separate copper wire (No. 14 AWG / 2.5mm or equivalent) through the grounding eye on the elbow. Twist it tightly, ensuring not to damage the eye. Twist all neutral wires together and connect them to ground using an appropriate connector. Provide adequate slack in the wires to allow for elbow operation.
- Connect Elbow to Bushing Plug
Lubricate the receptacle portion of the elbow connector and the mating bushing with the supplied lubricant. LUBRICATE ONLY IF THE TRANSFORMER AND ELBOW ARE KNOWN TO BE DE-ENERGIZED. Operate the connection using a fully insulated hotstick type live-line tool; DO NOT OPERATE BY HAND. Consult your utility's safe work practices for the required tool length and operating procedures.
