Special Features | Power Cable Joints utilize permanently crimped connectors. PCJ housings are fully insulated, shielded and sealed for direct-burial, vault, submersible and other servere service applications. Units have been designed and tested per IEEE Standard 404 to ensure system matched performance and ratings equal to the cable to which the splice will be installed. Power Cable Joints are available in two styles. Style 1 uses a single-piece housing that is sized to accommodate a specific range of cable - ideally suited to straight splicing of the same or similar cable. Style 2 designs incorporate a universal housing with separate cable adapters to allow transition splices of different types and sizes of cable |

How to Install the 35PCJ1 Series Straight Cable Joint
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of the 35PCJ1 series straight joint for aluminum or copper conductor, wire shielded cables. It covers cable preparation, splice installation, and final joint assembly.
Estimated time: 2h
Tools needed:
Cable strippers, Cable knives, Wire brush, Crimping tool, T&B WT3D tool (for 35kV installations only)
Supplies needed:
Joint Housing, Splice (Conductor Contact), Lubricant (DO NOT SUBSTITUTE), Appropriate connector (for grounding wires), DELTECt Cable ties TYD5135 (for 35kV installations only), #14 AWG copper wire or equivalent (if shield wires are smaller than #14 AWG)
- Ensure Safety and Prepare Components
DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products. This product must be installed only by competent personnel trained in good safety practices involving high voltage electrical equipment. Inspect all parts for damage, rating, and compatibility with mating parts. Ensure all required tools are at hand and maintain cleanliness throughout the procedure.
- Prepare Cables for Jointing
Overlap both cables and cut them to 12 inches (305mm) from the center line of the joint to ensure sufficient length of shield wires. 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 at the joint center line.
- Taper Cable 1 and Store Joint 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 joint housing onto Cable 1, pushing it up to the shield wires.
- Remove Insulation and Shield from Cables
Carefully remove the cable insulation and then the insulation shield from both Cable 1 and Cable 2 according to the specified 'X' and 'Y' dimensions for your conductor size (e.g., 500-750 MCM or 1000 MCM). WARNING: DO NOT CUT OR NICK THE CABLE INSULATION OR CONDUCTOR during this process.
- Install and Crimp the Splice
If conductors are aluminum, wire-brush them immediately before inserting into the splice. Check the dimension against the 'Max Check Before' table for your conductor size. Crimp the splice following the manufacturer's recommendations. Wipe off any excess inhibitor. Check the distance between cable insulations against the 'Max Check After' table; if it exceeds the maximum, redo the assembly. Remove any sharp protrusions or burrs generated during crimping and ensure all metal chips/filings are removed from the splice and joint assembly area.
- Lubricate Cables and Final Housing Positioning
Clean the cables where indicated. Lubricate the cables in the direction of the arrows shown in the diagram to create a build-up or ramp of lubricant at the edge of the insulation shield. Slide the joint housing into its final position. Proper positioning is achieved by observing and equalizing the deformation of the joint ends caused by the underlying cable insulation shield.
- Complete Grounding and Final Assembly
For 35kV installations ONLY, install two DELTECt Cable ties (TYD5135) on each end of the cable entrance, approximately 1/4 inch (6mm) from the edge of the splice, and the second 1/4 inch (6mm) from the first with an offset of the locking heads. Use the T&B WT3D tool (not included) to tighten and trim the ties. Remove and discard the yellow pin from the joint grounding eye. Retrain the shield wires and secure them 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.
