How to Install the 35MTB3-T Bracket Assembly

This guide provides instructions for mounting the 35MTB3-T bracket assembly to a cross arm, supporting a premolded rubber terminator and its cable. Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before beginning installation.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Wrench, Socket Set

Supplies needed:

Connector Grip, Mounting Bracket, 2 - 3/8" x 5" Carriage Bolts with nuts and lockwashers, 1 - 1/2" x 1" Carriage Bolt with nut and lockwasher, Weatherproof plastic tape, Grounding bolt (provided with bracket), Suitable grounding connector (not supplied)

  1. Mount Bracket and Connector Grip

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus are de-energized during installation. Attach the mounting bracket to a wooden cross arm using the two 3/8” x 5” carriage bolts. Secure the connector grip with the 1/2” x 1” carriage bolt. Feed the cable through the connector grip, allowing sufficient cable length for mounting the terminator (refer to terminator instructions).

  2. Apply Weatherproof Tape

    Apply weatherproof plastic tape approximately two inches from the bottom end of the wire grip. Tightly wrap the tape with a one-half tape width overlap, moving down the grip approximately one inch onto the cable. Reverse direction and wrap up to the starting point, stretching the tape to approximately one-half its original width.

  3. Install Terminator

    Install the premolded rubber terminator according to its specific instructions. This bracket assembly is designed to support the weight of the cable entering the terminator.

  4. Ground Components

    Ensure the concentric neutral from the cable, the electrostatic drainwire from the terminator, and the mounting bracket are all properly grounded. Failure to ground these components will result in damage to the product and serious or fatal injury.

  5. Connect Grounding

    Attach a suitable grounding connector (not supplied) to the mounting hole and bolt provided on the mounting bracket. This connection establishes the necessary ground for all specified components.
