How to Install the 600/900 Series Deadbreak Connecting Plug

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the 600/900 series deadbreak connecting plug, an accessory for power distribution systems. It covers stud installation, lubrication, connection, and grounding procedures.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

3/8 inch hex bit socket, Torque wrench, 600ATM

Supplies needed:

Connecting Plug, Lubricant (supplied with plug), No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire

  1. Prepare the Mating Plug Device

    Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before beginning installation. If the mating plug device is not equipped with a stud, hand tighten the stud into the mating plug device. Thread the stud until the start of the flats are below the contact surface.

  2. Clean and Lubricate Components

    Clean both the connecting plug and its mating part as indicated in the product documentation. Lubricate both parts thoroughly with the supplied lubricant. DO NOT SUBSTITUTE other lubricants, as they may harm the products. Maintain cleanliness of all surfaces.

  3. Connect and Torque the Plug

    Push the connecting plug into the elbow, bushing extender, vault stretcher, or elbow end module, and engage the threads. Hold the contact of the connecting plug against the contact surface of the mating part. Use a 600ATM or a 3/8 inch hex bit socket with a torque wrench to tighten the connection, exerting 50 to 60 foot-pounds (68 to 81 newton-meters) of torque.

  4. Ground the Connecting Plug (If Applicable)

    If applicable, insert one end of a No. 14 AWG (2.5mm) copper wire or equivalent through the grounding eye on the connecting plug. Twist the wire tightly, taking care not to damage the eye. Connect the other end of the wire securely to ground.
