How to Install the Elastimold 655VS/K655VS Deadbreak Vault Stretcher

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of the Elastimold 655VS/K655VS Deadbreak Vault Stretcher, including cable preparation, lug crimping, and final assembly for high voltage systems.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Cable cutting tool, Wire brush, Crimping tool, Torque wrench, Cleaning supplies, 5/8 inch bolt and nut

Supplies needed:

Elastimold 655VS/K655VS Vault Stretcher kit, Grounding wire (min. 14 AWG copper), Suitable grounding connectors, Lubricant

  1. Prepare Cables for Installation

    DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized before starting. Inspect all parts for damage and compatibility. For concentric neutral cable, overlap both cables, cut to 14” (355mm) from the joint centerline, and bend back the neutral wires. Clean the outer surface of the cable for 24” (610mm) or up to the bent neutrals. Remove the outer jacket (if applicable) and prepare the cable insulation to 9-3/4” (248mm), semi-con shield to 10-3/4” (273mm), and tape marker to 12-3/4” (324mm) from the cable end.

  2. Install Cable Adapters and Trim Conductors

    Bevel the end of the cable insulation at a 45-degree angle, approximately 1/4” (6mm) back. Thoroughly clean and lubricate the cable insulation, working towards the semi-con shield. Install the cable adapter, small end first, until it is flush with the edge of the tape marker. Remove any protruding cable insulation, ensuring it is even with the end of the cable adapter. Verify the exposed conductor length is between 4-3/8” and 4-11/16” (111mm-119mm).

  3. Crimp Compression Lugs onto Conductors

    For aluminum conductors, wire brush the conductor and immediately fully insert it into the compression lug. For copper, fully insert the conductor. Measure the 'Check Dimension' (must be less than 6-1/2”). Align the flat portions of the compression connector using a 5/8” bolt. Make the first crimp 3-1/2” from the open end of the fitting at the indicated mark. Rotate each successive crimp 180 degrees to prevent bowing. Carefully wipe excess inhibitor and remove any sharp flash. Verify the connector end is 6-1/2” to 7-1/4” (165mm-184mm).

  4. Assemble Vault Stretcher Body with Cables

    Lubricate the inside of the vault stretcher body and the outside of the cable adapter. Using a rotating motion, slip the body onto the cable adapter, ensuring the compression lug aligns and seats fully. For the opposite cable, push the vault stretcher and compression lug sideways until the lug enters the open end of the body. Slowly push both units for final alignment, verifying the lubricated adapter slides into position. Check the compression lug location through the viewing hole. Ensure both cable adapters are flush with tape markers, then remove the tape markers.

  5. Connect Mating Parts and Ground the System

    DANGER: DO NOT connect or disconnect mating products while energized. DO NOT energize while disconnected. Remove protective caps. Hand tighten the special 650VSA stud into one mating part. Clean and lubricate the vault stretcher and mating part. Clean and lubricate the mating part for the opposite end, then insert it into the elbow, engage threads, and hand tighten. Torque mating parts according to their specific instructions. If using an insulating plug, clean, lubricate, and snap the voltage detection cap into place. Ground concentric neutral cables by inserting a minimum No. 14 AWG copper wire through each grounding eye, forming a loop, and connecting to ground with suitable connectors.
