How to Install the Sweetheart FLOOD-SEAL Mechanical Connector CS 4197 ROCKET

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of the Sweetheart FLOOD-SEAL Mechanical Connector CS 4197 ROCKET, covering cable preparation, conductor insertion, and torque specifications for a secure electrical connection.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

Torque wrench, 5/16 inch allen wrench, 3/8 inch drive ratchet with allen adapter, Wire brush

Supplies needed:

Silicone grease, Electrical compound

  1. Identify Cable Size and Prepare Rocket

    Identify the service cable size you are using. Cut the rocket/cap ring at the tip of the arrow to expose the correct wire range for your cable.

  2. Prepare Insulating Sleeve

    Cut off the tip of the insulating sleeve at the arrow, ensuring the correct cable size is visible on the sleeve.

  3. Strip Cable Insulation

    Strip approximately 2 1/4 inches of insulation from the cable to bare the conductor. Penciling the edge of the insulation is recommended to ease installation.

  4. Clean Conductor and Apply Compound

    Thoroughly wire brush the bare conductor to remove surface oxides. Apply electrical compound and brush it into the conductor strands.

  5. Apply Grease and Slide Rocket

    Wipe the cable clean. Apply the included silicone grease and then slide the prepared rocket over the cable.

  6. Insert Conductor into Barrel

    Insert the prepared conductor into the outlet barrel, ensuring a maximum of 1/8 inch of bare conductor is showing.

  7. Position Rocket Sleeve

    Slide the rocket sleeve over the outlet and onto the PVC shoulder until the rocket firmly butts against the connector bar.

  8. Tighten Setscrews to Torque

    Tighten the setscrews onto the conductor using a torque wrench. For wire sizes #12 to #2, apply 120 in-lbs (10 ft-lbs) of torque. For 1/0 to 350 Kcmil, apply 360 in-lbs (30 ft-lbs) of torque. If a torque wrench is unavailable, use a 5/16 inch allen wrench or a 3/8 inch drive ratchet with an allen adapter.
