How to Install the K656CHSL-BUS Disconnectable Splice with Sacrificial Cap
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the K656CHSL-BUS disconnectable splice, including cable preparation, assembly, and grounding procedures. Ensure all apparatus are de-energized before beginning installation.
Estimated time: 2h
Tools needed:
Cable cutting tool, Wire strippers, Hex wrench, Wire brush (for aluminum conductors), Crimping tool, Torque wrench with 15/16 inch socket, Assembly tool (e.g., 600YADT-2 or 600RRT-2), Cleaning rags
Supplies needed:
K656CHSL-BUS Splice Kit (includes splice, sacrificial cap, lubricant), Cable (concentric neutral or flat metallic tape shielded), Crimp connectors, Inhibitor (for aluminum conductors), Electrical tape, Approved safety solvent, No. 14 AWG copper grounding wire, ECS grounding device (if applicable)
- De-energize and Inspect Components
Before starting, ensure all apparatus are de-energized. Inspect all kit contents for completeness and damage. Verify all components are compatible with the cable and mating products. Read the entire instructions and have all required tools and supplies ready, maintaining cleanliness throughout the procedure.
- Prepare the Cable End and Slide Components
Cut the cable end square and wipe the outer jacket clean 38 inches from the cut end. If using an ECS grounding device, slide the ECS tube onto the cable 38 inches from the cut end. Slide the receptacle housing onto the cable 30 inches from the cut end.
- Prepare Jacketed Concentric Neutral Cable (Part A)
From the cable end, measure 13-3/4 inches and remove the cable jacket with a straight, smooth, square cut, taking care not to damage neutral wires. Bend the neutral wires back. From the cable end, measure 10-1/4 inches and remove the insulation shield (semi-con) with a straight, smooth cut, ensuring not to cut or nick the insulation. At 1 inch from the end of the semi-con shield, wrap two turns of tape as a marker. Bevel the end of the insulation at a 45-degree angle, approximately 1/4 inch back. Thoroughly clean the insulation with an approved safety solvent, wiping from the cable end toward the outer jacket.
- Install Cable Adapter and Retaining Rings
Apply lubricant sparingly along the cable as shown in the diagram (Part A, Step 5 of the original document) and lubricate the inside of the cable adapter. Slide the adapter, small end first, over the cable with a twisting motion until its end is flush with the tape marker. Remove any protruding cable insulation by cutting it even with the end of the cable adapter, ensuring the exposed conductor is 4-3/4 to 5 inches. Do not cut or nick the cable adapter or conductor. Assemble aluminum retaining rings over the conductor, snugging firmly against the cable adapter. Hand tighten the socket head screw with the provided hex wrench. Confirm the exposed conductor is 4-3/8 to 4-3/4 inches.
- Crimp the Connector
Remove the protective cap from the crimp connector. If using aluminum cable, wire brush the conductor and immediately insert it into the crimp connector containing inhibitor, ensuring full insertion into the barrel. Measure the distance from the end of the connector to the holding collar; if over 7 inches, recheck previous work. Position all components, ensuring bolt holes in the crimp connectors align with the mating part. Crimp the connectors according to their instructions, rotating each crimp 90 or 180 degrees. After crimping, re-measure the distance from the end of the connector to the holding collar; if over 7 inches, recheck previous work.
- Assemble and Torque the Splice
Assemble the flat washer against the spade contact, followed by the Belleville washer (concave side down), and then the hex-head bolt. Hand tighten all bolts. The splice and cables are now in their final positions; do not move or reposition any part after tightening. Using a torque wrench with a 15/16 inch socket, tighten all bolts to 50 to 60 ft. lbs.
- Install Receptacle Housing
Apply supplied 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 and up to the final position. Insert the supplied nylon venting rod.
- Complete Grounding
Complete the installation of the ECS grounding device following its specific instructions. Connect a short length of No. 14 AWG copper wire (or equivalent) to the grounding eyes of the housings. Make a small loop and twist tightly, taking care not to damage the eye. Attach this wire directly to the system's ground.
- Assemble the Sacrificial Cap
Remove the protective shipping cap from the splice. Clean the male interface and lubricate both the interface and the inside of the new sacrificial cap with the supplied lubricant. Install the new sacrificial cap by rotating it clockwise 9 to 10 turns until it stops turning. No additional torque is required. Ensure the gap between the cap and the shoulder of the splice is 1/8 inch or less. Attach a No. 14 AWG wire through the grounding eye of the cap and tighten by twisting, then attach directly to the system's ground, keeping the wire snug.
