How to Install the K150T3 Deadbreak Tee Splice

Instructions for installing and connecting the K150T3 deadbreak tee splice, ensuring proper assembly and sealing.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Silicone grease applicator, Bailing assembly installation tool (if applicable)

Supplies needed:

K150T3 Tee Splice kit, Silicone lubricant (supplied), Nylon Venting Rod (supplied), ELASTIMOLD bailing assembly (recommended, sold separately), Mating connectors (elbows, receptacles, or caps)

  1. Inspect and Prepare Components

    Verify that all components in the K150T3 kit are present and undamaged. Ensure mating parts are compatible with the tee splice and cable. Read all installation instructions before beginning. Maintain a clean work area.

  2. Lubricate and Protect Plug Ends

    Apply the supplied silicone lubricant to the plug ends of the K150T3. Do not substitute lubricants. Keep protective caps on the plug ends until final connections are made to prevent contamination.

  3. Position Mating Connectors and Train Cables

    Ensure that the cables connected to the mating parts are properly trained. The cable entrances should not be strained, and the cables should be positioned at a 90-degree angle from the center line of the K150T3.

  4. Assemble Mating Connectors to Tee Splice

    Insert the supplied nylon venting rod into the receptacle portion of a mating connector. Push the connector onto the corresponding tee body junction until it is fully seated. Remove the nylon rod to allow air to escape. Repeat for the other end of the tee body junction.

  5. Verify Proper Assembly and Bailing

    Confirm that the gap between the skirts of the mating part and the tee splice is 3/32" (2.4mm) or less. This gap is critical for proper bailing. If using a bailing assembly, follow its specific installation instructions to secure the connectors and prevent separation due to cable movement. Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before proceeding.
