How to Install the 2701DLA Deadbreak to Loadbreak Adapter

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for safely installing the 2701DLA Deadbreak to Loadbreak Adapter, converting 180 series deadbreak epoxy bushings to loadbreak bushings. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation.

Supplies needed:

DLA Adapter, Bail Prepack (4 Hook Bolts, 4 Wing Nuts, 1 Bail Plate), Silicone Lubricant, Nylon Rod, Wire (No. 14 AWG Copper or equivalent), Suitable connector (for grounding)

  1. De-energize Apparatus and Perform Initial Checks

    DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Inspect the contents of the package to ensure they are complete and undamaged. Check all components for proper fit with the cable and/or mating products. Read the entire installation instructions before starting.

  2. Install Adapter onto Apparatus Bushing

    Inspect the apparatus bushing to ensure it is dry and free from all contaminants. Remove the protective shipping cover from the adapter. Lubricate the apparatus bushing and adapter interface with the supplied silicone lubricant. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants. Insert the supplied nylon rod into the adapter interface to exhaust trapped air during assembly. Push the adapter firmly onto the apparatus bushing.

  3. Remove Nylon Rod

    Carefully remove the nylon rod from the adapter by pulling it in the direction shown in the diagram (away from the bushing).

  4. Connect Grounding Wire

    Insert one end of a piece of wire, with ampacity at least equivalent to No. 14 AWG Copper, through the grounding eye and twist to make a small loop, ensuring not to damage the eye. Connect this wire to ground using a suitable connector.

  5. Assemble Hold Down Bail

    Assemble the bail plate, the four hook bolts, and the four wing nuts to hold the adapter in place. Hand tighten the wing nuts, keeping the bail plate parallel to the bushing mounting surface. The bail plate and hook bolts secure the adapter during elbow assembly/disassembly and provide a ground for the adapter's semi-conductive jacket.

  6. Prepare Loadbreak Interface

    Clean and lubricate the loadbreak interface of the adapter with the supplied lubricant. Install the mating products (e.g., elbow connector, insulated cap, or grounding elbow) to the bushing interface following their respective instructions. If the adapter loadbreak interface is not immediately mated, replace the protective cap. Do NOT energize or submerge the adapter with the protective cap on.

  7. Verify Final Assembly

    Confirm that the assembly of an insulated cap or elbow is complete by ensuring no portion of the red (for 1601DLA) or blue (for 2701DLA) interface sleeve is visible when viewed from the side.
