How to Install the FYC/DYC Street Lighting Kit

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the assembly, wiring, and connection of the FYC or DYC Y-Type street lighting kit components. Ensure all safety precautions are followed and installation is performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Identify LINE and LOAD sides of wiring and molded connector bodies before beginning installation.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Wood dowel, Wire brush, Wrench

Supplies needed:

Lubricant, 13/32 inch by 1 1/2 inch Fuse (600V 30A max) or Connecting Link, Nut, Bolt, Belleville washers, Lugs, HM53 inhibitor (for aluminum conductors)

  1. Prepare Load Side Housing and Cable

    WARNING: Disconnect power before beginning installation to prevent risk of shock. Measure the cable diameter and refer to Table 1 in the original document to select the corresponding section on the load side (plug) housing. Cut off the remaining sections of the housing to the size referenced in the Range column. Thoroughly clean approximately 8 inches along the load side cable end. Apply lubricant and insert the cable through the small hole in the load side (plug) housing. Push the cable through a sufficient distance to permit 3/8 inch for stripping of insulation. Strip the insulation a distance of 3/8 inch. CAUTION: Do not over strip.

  2. Crimp the Fuse Holder

    Insert the stripped cable into the crimp barrel of the fuse holder. Crimp the connection using a suitable crimping tool and die, referring to Table 2 in the original document for recommended tools and dies based on conductor size.

  3. Assemble the Load Side (Plug) Housing

    Apply lubricant lightly to the outside of the fuse holder. Place the wood dowel into the socket and position the free end of the dowel against a firm surface. Push the load side (plug) housing forward until the fuse holder snaps into position. Wipe off any excess lubricant.

  4. Insert Fuse or Connecting Link

    Insert a 13/32 inch by 1 1/2 inch fuse (600 Volt 30 Amp max.) or the connecting link into the load side (plug) housing. WARNING: Do not use a glass body fuse.

  5. Prepare Y-Type Housing and Cable for Run Connection

    Select and cut the correct cut-off ring on the Y-Type housing for the cable being used. Cut and bevel the cable insulation. Apply lubricant to the end of the cable and the cut opening of the Y-Type housing. Slide the cable through until it extends 2 to 3 inches beyond the housing. Strip the cable insulation to fit the compression lugs.

  6. Crimp Lugs and Apply Inhibitor (Aluminum Only)

    Crimp the lugs with the proper crimping tool, ensuring the pad portions of the lugs are back to back. For aluminum conductors only: Wire brush the pads of the lugs, then apply HM53 inhibitor or equivalent on the pads, and wipe off any excess inhibitor.

  7. Assemble and Tighten the Insert

    Assemble the insert using the provided nut, bolt, Belleville washers, and lugs as shown in the illustration (Figure B in the original document). Tighten the bolted assembly securely.

  8. Assemble Insert into Y-Type Housing

    Apply lubricant to the line end insert as shown in the document's illustration. Slide the Y-Type housing up to the bottom of the line end insert. Push the line end insert into the opening of the Y-Type housing. While pulling on the cables and holding the Y-Type housing, slide the housing toward the line end insert. Push the line end insert until it is fully seated in the housing.

  9. Connect Load Side to Line End

    Lubricate the male and female components of the load side (plug) housing and the line end insert. Insert the load side (plug) housing, with the installed link or fuse clip, into the line end insert.
