How to Install the FTU-HS Kit

This guide outlines the installation of the FTU-HS Kit, focusing on the correct application of heat shrink components over an FTU connector. Installation must be performed by trained installers in accordance with all applicable electrical codes and safety rules to prevent electric shock.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Heat gun

Supplies needed:

FTU connector, Inner heat shrink, Outer heat shrink

  1. Install FTU Connector

    Install the FTU connector according to the manufacturer's instructions. Ensure proper connection before proceeding with the heat shrink application. WARNING: Danger of Electric Shock! Installation must be performed by trained installers in accordance with all applicable local, state and national electrical codes, installation standards and safety rules.

  2. Position Heat Shrink Layers

    Slide both the inner and outer layers of the heat shrink over the installed FTU connector, ensuring they are positioned correctly for the subsequent heating steps.

  3. Position Inner Heat Shrink

    Slide the inner heat shrink component firmly against the bushing.

  4. Apply Heat to Inner Heat Shrink

    Using a heat gun, carefully focus the heat source to the inner heat shrink near the bushing until it is fully installed and shrunk. CAUTION: Avoid overheating the bushing and heat shrink material during this process.

  5. Apply Heat to Outer Heat Shrink

    Overlap the inner and outer heat shrink components by approximately 1 inch (2.54 cm). Apply heat to the outer heat shrink until sealant is visible around the entire perimeter, indicating a complete and secure seal.
