Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
Cutting tool, Wire strippers
Supplies needed:
FSS 5035 Flood-Seal Twin Tap Cover, Electrical cable, Silicone grease, Electrical connector
- Select Correct Cable Size
Identify and select the appropriate cable size for your application. Refer to the provided cable size charts (e.g., 14-10 SL, 8-4, 2-2/0, 3/0-250, 300-400, 500) to ensure compatibility with the FSS 5035 cover.
- Prepare the Rocket Sleeve and Cap
Using a cutting tool, carefully cut off the Rocket Sleeve and Cap at the tip of the arrow. Ensure that the correct cable size marking remains visible on the opened Rocket and Cap sections.
- Prepare the Cable End
Wipe the cable clean to remove any dirt or moisture. Bevel the end of the cable insulation to facilitate easier installation into the sleeve. Apply a generous amount of silicone grease to the end of the cable and to the cut opening of the insulating sleeve.
- Insert the Cable
Carefully insert the prepared cable into the insulating sleeve until the cable end extends beyond the sleeve. Ensure a snug fit.
- Strip Cable Insulation
Strip the insulation from the end of the cable to expose the conductor. Repeat this stripping process for the cap end of the cable if it's a twin tap application, ensuring the conductor is ready for connection.
- Install the Electrical Connector
Install the appropriate electrical connector (tap or splice) onto the bared conductor(s) according to the connector manufacturer's instructions. Ensure a secure and proper connection.
- Seal and Close the Cover
Apply silicone grease to the entire open edge of the Rocket sleeve. Carefully slide the Cap and Rocket sleeve together, ensuring a complete and watertight seal around the installed connector and cables. Verify that the cover is fully closed and sealed.
