How to Install Elastimold 655/675LR and K655/K675LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of Elastimold 655/675LR and K655/K675LR Deadbreak Elbow Connectors, including cable preparation, lug crimping, and connection to mating apparatus.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Wire strippers, Crimping tool, Wire brush (for aluminum conductors), Torque wrench, Hotstick, Capacitive voltage sensing device, Measuring tape or ruler, Utility knife or cable knife
Supplies needed:
Elastimold 655/675LR or K655/K675LR Elbow Connector, Cable Adapter, Compression Lug, Insulating Plug (optional), Lubricant (silicone), Threaded Stud (if mating part not equipped), No. 14 AWG Copper grounding wire (or equivalent), Grounding connector, Grounding device (optional), Waterproofing material, Cleaning cloths
- De-energize Apparatus and Position Cable
DANGER: Ensure all apparatus is de-energized during installation or removal of parts. Do not touch or move energized products in the work area. Position the cable in its final assembled location, providing sufficient slack for elbow removal. For concentric neutral cable, unwind the neutral wires. Cut the cable 1-3/4” (45mm) from the centerline of the mating product.
- Prepare Cable Insulation and Shield
Clean the outer surface of the cable for a distance of 24” (610mm). Remove the outer jacket (if applicable). Prepare the cable by removing insulation to 9-3/4” (248mm), the semi-con shield to 10-3/4” (273mm), and marking the tape at 12-3/4” (324mm) from the cut end. Bevel the end of the cable insulation at a 45-degree angle, approximately 1/4” (6mm) back.
- Install Cable Adapter and Crimp Lug
Thoroughly clean and lubricate the cable insulation, always working towards the semi-con shield. Install the cable adapter, small end first, until it is flush with the tape marker. Remove protruding cable insulation, ensuring the exposed conductor is between 4-1/4” and 4-9/16” (108mm-116mm). For aluminum conductors, wire brush the conductor and immediately fully insert it into the compression lug. Crimp the lug following its supplied instructions, then wipe off all excess inhibitor. Verify the distance from the end of the compression lug to the cable adapter is between 6-3/8” and 7-1/8” (162mm-181mm).
- Install Elbow and Connect to Mating Apparatus
Lubricate the cable adapter and the inside of the elbow cable entrance. Install the elbow onto the cable adapter until it cannot advance further, ensuring the adapter remains flush with the tape marker. Remove the tape marker. DANGER: Do not connect or disconnect mating products while energized. Do not energize while disconnected. Remove protective caps from the elbow and the mating part. Hand tighten the threaded stud supplied with the elbow into the mating part if it is not already equipped. Clean and lubricate both the elbow and the mating part. Push the elbow onto the mating part, lining up the hole in the compression lug with the stud. Torque the mating part according to its supplied instructions.
- Ground Cable Shield and Verify Voltage
Insert one end of a No. 14 AWG Copper (or equivalent) wire through the grounding eye and twist to make a small loop; do not damage the eye. Connect this wire to ground using a suitable connector. The cable shield must be grounded; use a grounding device or an alternate method. It is also recommended to waterproof the cable jacket at this point. If an insulating plug is used as a mating part, clean and lubricate its voltage detection cap and place it on the elbow, pushing until it snaps into place. To test for voltage, remove the test point cap with a hotstick. WARNING: The voltage test point is a capacitance device; use a suitable sensing device for capacitive test points, not conventional voltage measuring equipment. After testing, clean and lubricate the inside surface of the cap with silicone lubricant and replace it on the test point.
