Overview

The ABB FSK 4 Aluminum Flood-Seal Compression Splice Kit is designed for reliable and secure connections of 4 STR CPT COMPT AL-CU conductors. This kit, manufactured by ABB - Installation Products, provides a robust solution for electrical splicing applications. The primary component is a high-quality aluminum compression splice, engineered for optimal conductivity and mechanical strength. The 'Flood-Seal' designation indicates its suitability for environments where moisture ingress is a concern, offering enhanced protection against corrosion and electrical degradation. Each FSK 4 kit is comprehensive, including the aluminum splice itself, a protective cover, and a cap to ensure a complete and sealed termination. To facilitate proper installation and ensure long-term performance, the kit also contains silicone grease, which aids in conductivity and prevents oxidation, along with a detailed instruction sheet. The material composition of aluminum is chosen for its excellent electrical properties and compatibility with aluminum and copper conductors, as specified by the 'AL-CU' rating. The size designation '4' refers to the conductor size compatibility, ensuring a precise fit for 4 AWG stranded compact aluminum conductors. This compression splice kit is ideal for use in various electrical distribution and transmission systems, power infrastructure, and industrial control panels where secure and durable connections are paramount. The compression method ensures a permanent, low-resistance electrical joint that can withstand mechanical stress and environmental factors. The inclusion of all necessary components in a single kit streamlines the installation process, reducing labor time and the risk of using incompatible parts. ABB's commitment to quality in their Installation Products line ensures that the FSK 4 kit meets stringent performance standards for electrical connections.

How to Install the Flood Seal Submersible Splice Cover FSS 20 & FSS 20L

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the Flood Seal Submersible Splice Cover, ensuring a watertight and insulated connection for low voltage cables from #14 to 2/0 stranded conductor.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

Silicon grease, Electrical connector, Silicone sealant

  1. Select Correct Cut-Off Ring

    Identify the cable size being used. Select the appropriate cut-off ring on the rocket sleeve and cap that corresponds to your cable size (e.g., #14 to #8, #8 to #4, #4 to 1/0).

  2. Prepare Rocket Sleeve and Cap

    Using the selected cut-off ring as a guide, cut off the tip of the rocket sleeve and cap at the arrow. Ensure the correct cable size marking remains visible on the opened rocket and cap after cutting.

  3. Prepare Cable Insulation

    Carefully bevel or pencil the cable insulation by 1/4 inch. This preparation facilitates easier installation of the splice cover components over the cable.

  4. Apply Silicon Grease

    Apply a generous amount of silicon grease to the prepared cable insulation. This aids in sliding the components and enhances the watertight seal.

  5. Position Rocket and Cap

    Slide the prepared rocket sleeve and cap over the cable, positioning them away from the splice area for now, ready for final assembly.

  6. Install Electrical Connector

    Install the appropriate electrical connector to join the cable conductors. Ensure a secure and proper connection according to connector manufacturer specifications.

  7. Seal and Assemble Housing

    Apply silicone sealant to the open edge of the rocket sleeve. Carefully slide the two halves of the Flood Seal Housing together, ensuring it is centered precisely over the installed electrical connection to create a complete and watertight seal.
