How to Install the 35PCJ1 Series Straight Joint

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of the 35PCJ1 series permanent, fully shielded, and submersible straight joint for wire shielded cables.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Utility knife, Wire brush, Crimping tool, Deburring tool, T&B WT3D tool (for 35kV only)

Supplies needed:

35PCJ1 Joint Housing, Splice (Conductor Contact), Lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), #14 AWG Copper Wire (or equivalent, if needed), Grounding wire connector, DELTEC Cable ties TYD5135 (for 35kV only)

  1. Perform Pre-Installation Safety and Inspection

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before beginning installation. Do not touch or move energized products. Inspect all package contents for completeness and damage. Verify all components fit properly with the cable and mating products. Gather all required tools and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure.

  2. Prepare Cables for Joint Centerline

    Overlap both cables and cut them to 12 inches (305mm) from the joint's centerline. Where applicable, remove the cable jacket of Cable 1 to 37 inches (940mm) and Cable 2 to 21 inches (530mm). Fold back the shield wires. Finally, cut both cables precisely at the joint's centerline.

  3. Prepare Cable 1 and Store Housing

    Taper the edge of Cable 1's insulation shield from 1/2 inch to 1-1/2 inches (13mm to 38mm). Clean and lubricate the insulation shield. Lubricate the inside bore of the joint housing on both ends. Carefully slide the housing onto Cable 1, positioning it up to the shield wires.

  4. Prepare Cables for Splice Installation

    Carefully remove the cable insulation and then the insulation shield from both Cable 1 and Cable 2. Exercise extreme caution to avoid cutting or nicking the cable insulation or conductor. Refer to the provided 'X' and 'Y' dimensions table for precise removal lengths based on conductor size (e.g., 500-750 MCM, 1000 MCM).

  5. Install the Splice

    If conductors are aluminum, wire-brush them thoroughly and immediately insert them into the splice. Check the dimension against the 'Max Check Before' table; if it exceeds, redo the assembly. Crimp the splice according to its manufacturer's recommendations. Wipe off any excess inhibitor. Check the distance between cable insulations against the 'Max Check After' table; if it exceeds, redo the assembly. Remove any sharp protrusions or burrs from the crimped splice and ensure all metal chips/filings are removed from the joint assembly area. Clean the cables where indicated and lubricate them to create a build-up at the insulation shield's edge.

  6. Complete Joint Assembly

    Slide the joint housing into its final position, ensuring proper placement by observing and equalizing the deformation of the joint ends caused by the underlying cable insulation shield. For 35kV ONLY: Install two DELTEC Cable ties on each end of the cable entrance, approximately 1/4 inch from the splice edge, with the second tie 1/4 inch from the first and locking heads offset. Use a T&B WT3D tool to tighten and trim ties. Remove and discard the yellow pin from the joint grounding eye. Retrain and secure the shield wires to the ends of the joint. Insert one shield wire from Cable 1 (if #14 AWG or larger) through the joint grounding eye, and repeat for Cable 2. If shield wires are smaller than #14 AWG, use separate #14 AWG copper wire or equivalent. Connect the joint grounding wires and remaining shield wires using an appropriate connector. Finally, reconstruct the cable jacket (where applicable) over both cables and the joint housing.
