How to Install K1601WJ2, K1601WJ3, or K1601WJ4 Loadbreak Well Junctions

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for mounting and preparing the K1601WJ2, K1601WJ3, or K1601WJ4 Loadbreak Well Junctions for operation, including bracket installation and bushing preparation.

Estimated time: 1h

Tools needed:

Wrench/Socket Set, Wire Strippers, Marking Tool

Supplies needed:

Mounting bolts (user-supplied, 17/32" diameter), Grounding wire (No. 10 Solid to No. 1 Stranded), Lubricant (supplied), HV insulated cap(s) or connector(s) (if needed), Bushings (not included)

  1. Prepare for Installation and Mark Mounting Locations

    Safety Warning: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before starting installation. Loosely attach the universal mounting brackets to the junction base bracket. Place the assembled junction and brackets against the desired mounting surface (flat or curved). Adjust the brackets for proper alignment and mark their exact location on the wall.

  2. Mount Universal Brackets to the Wall

    Detach the universal mounting brackets from the junction base bracket. Mount the brackets securely on the wall using user-supplied bolts (17/32" or 13mm diameter) according to the marks made in the previous step. Ensure the brackets are firmly attached.

  3. Attach Junction to Brackets and Adjust Angle

    Fasten the junction's base bracket to the securely mounted universal brackets, ensuring the parking stands are in the upright position. Adjust the junction's mounting angle to the desired position (0° to 90° above or below horizontal in 15° increments). Securely tighten all bolts to prevent any movement during operation.

  4. Ground the Junction Base Bracket

    Connect a grounding wire (No. 10 Solid to No. 1 Stranded) to the provided grounding lug on the base bracket. Ensure the grounding connection is secure and properly installed.

  5. Prepare Bushing Wells and Install Bushings

    Remove any protective caps from the bushing wells. Inspect the bushing wells to ensure they are dry and free from all contaminants. Lubricate the well interface area using only the supplied lubricant or Elastimold approved lubricants. Do not substitute. Install the appropriate bushings into the wells, following the specific installation instructions provided with the bushings. Warning: If any operating interfaces remain unused, install an Elastimold insulated cap or insulated plug on them before energizing the circuit. Do not use shipping covers for this purpose.
