How to Install K150S In-Line Deadbreak Junctions

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of Elastimold K150S In-Line Deadbreak Junctions with mating connectors. Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before beginning any work.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Nylon Venting Rod

Supplies needed:

K150S In-Line Deadbreak Junction, Silicone Grease (Lubricant), Mating Deadbreak Connectors (Elbows or Straight Receptacles), Elastimold Bailing Assembly (e.g., 15TB3 or 15TB4)

  1. De-energize and Inspect Components

    DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Ensure all K150S components and mating parts are free from damage, correctly rated, and compatible with each other. Verify that all package contents are complete and undamaged.

  2. Prepare for Bailing Assembly

    Prior to beginning the K150S installation, refer to and follow the appropriate ELASTIMOLD bailing assembly instructions. It is recommended to utilize an appropriate bailing assembly to secure all connectors from separating due to cable movement.

  3. Lubricate Plug Ends

    Remove the protective caps from the K150S plug ends. Lubricate the plug ends thoroughly with the supplied silicone grease; do not substitute. Keep the plug ends clean and do not remove protective caps until you are ready to make the final connections.

  4. Train Mating Connector Cables

    Before installing mating parts onto the K150S, properly train the cables on these parts. Ensure that the cable entrances are not strained and maintain a 90-degree angle from the center line of the K150S.

  5. Connect Mating Parts to K150S

    Insert the nylon venting rod into the receptacle portion of the desired mating connector. Push the mating connector onto the K150S in-line junction as far as possible to exhaust any trapped air during assembly. Remove the nylon rod to complete the connection. Repeat this procedure for the other end of the in-line junction.

  6. Verify Connection Gap and Bail Assembly

    After connecting the mating parts, verify that the gap between the skirts of the mating part and the K150S in-line junction is 3/32” (2.4mm) or less. This specific gap is necessary for the proper installation of the bailing assembly. Proceed to install the bailing assembly as per its separate instructions.
