How to Install K656 Deadbreak Receptacles
This guide provides comprehensive instructions for installing Elastimold K656 series deadbreak receptacles, covering cable preparation, connector assembly, and grounding. Ensure all high-voltage apparatus are de-energized before installation.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Hex wrench, Torque wrench with 15/16 inch socket, Wire brush (for aluminum cable), Assembly tool (650ATY or 600RRT), Rag, Approved safety solvent, Wire strippers
Supplies needed:
K656 Deadbreak Receptacle Kit (housings, adapters, center sections, collars, bolts, washers, venting rod, lubricant), Crimp connectors (specific to cable type), Cable (concentric neutral or flat metallic shielded), Electrical tape (for markers), Conductive copper strip (if using flat metallic tape shielded cable), No. 14 AWG copper wire (for grounding), ECS grounding device (if used)
- De-energize Apparatus and Inspect Components
DANGER: All apparatus must be de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Inspect all kit contents for completeness, damage, proper rating, and compatibility with mating parts and cable. Check threads by threading a probe into the compression lug; replace damaged components if resistance is encountered.
- Prepare Cable Jacket
Wipe the outer jacket clean for a distance of 38 inches (96.5 cm) from the end. Cut the cable end squarely to ensure maximum available length for crimp growth.
- Install Grounding Device Tube (If Applicable)
If using an ECS grounding device, slide the ECS tube onto the cable for a distance of 38 inches (96.5 cm).
- Slide Receptacle Housing
Slide the receptacle housing onto the cable for a distance of 30 inches (76.2 cm).
- Prepare Cable According to Type
Consult the special cable preparation supplement included with these instructions (Part A for Jacketed Concentric Neutral Cable, Part B for Flat Metallic Tape Shielded Cable). This involves precisely removing the outer jacket and semi-con shield, bending neutral wires (if applicable), beveling the insulation, thoroughly cleaning the insulation with an approved safety solvent, applying lubricant, and sliding the cable adapter to the specified marker. Ensure all measurements are exact and maintain cleanliness.
- Trim Insulation and Install Retaining Ring
Remove any protruding cable insulation, cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter. Ensure the exposed conductor measures 4-3/4 to 5 inches (12.1 to 12.7 cm). Assemble the aluminum retaining ring over the conductor, snug it firmly against the cable adapter, and hand tighten the socket head screw using the provided hex wrench. Confirm the exposed conductor now measures 4-3/8 to 4-3/4 inches (11.1 to 12.1 cm); otherwise, redo assembly.
- Prepare and Insert Conductor into Crimp Connector
Remove the protective cap from the crimp connector. If using aluminum cable, wire brush the conductor immediately. Fully insert the conductor into the crimp connector (which contains inhibitor). Measure the distance from the end of the connector to the holding collar; if over 7 inches (17.8 cm), do not proceed and redo all previous work.
- Repeat for Additional Cables and Confirm Alignment
Repeat steps 6 and 7 for all remaining cables to be joined. Prior to crimping, confirm all components are positioned correctly and that the bolt holes in the crimp connectors are properly aligned with the bolt holes of the mating part.
- Crimp Connectors
Crimp the connectors following the instructions packaged with them, rotating each crimp 90 or 180 degrees. After crimping, measure the distance from the end of the connector to the holding collar; if over 7 inches (17.8 cm), do not proceed and redo all previous work.
- Assemble Washers and Bolt
Assemble the washers and bolt in the following order: flat washer against the spade contact, Belleville washer (concave side down), then the hex-head bolt. Hand tighten. Do not move or reposition any part of the assembly after the bolts are tightened. Clean and lubricate the area.
- Torque Bolts
Using a torque wrench with a 15/16 inch socket, tighten all bolts to 50 to 60 ft. lbs (67.8 to 81.3 Nm).
- Apply Lubricant and Insert Venting Rod
Apply the supplied lubricant or ELASTIMOLD approved lubricant generously to the outside of the cable adapter, the splice section, and the inside mating surface of the receptacle housing. Slide the receptacle housing over the cable adapter up to the edge of the interface and insert the nylon venting rod.
- Slide Receptacle Housing with Assembly Tool
Use either the 650ATY or 600RRT assembly tool to slowly slide the receptacle housing over the splice section. Remove the venting rod. WARNING: Do not place hands on the threaded rod or guide shaft when using the 600RRT tool.
- Repeat for Remaining Cables and Final Checks
Repeat steps 12 and 13 for any remaining cables. Check all cable adapters to ensure they are properly located and remove all vinyl tape markers.
- Complete Grounding
If using an ECS grounding device, complete its installation according to the instructions included with the device. Otherwise, connect a short length of No. 14 AWG copper wire (or equivalent) to the grounding eyes of the housings, making a small loop and twisting tightly without damaging the eye. Connect this wire to ground.
