How to Install a Flood-Seal Inline Fuse/Disconnect Kit

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing Flood-Seal SLK-M, SDK-M, SLT-M, or SDT-M inline fuse/disconnect kits. It covers preparing the cable, installing fuse clips, and assembling the housing for both line and load ends.

Estimated time: 45m

Tools needed:

1/8 inch hex wrench, Wire strippers, Cutting tool

Supplies needed:

Flood-Seal Inline Fuse/Disconnect Kit, Copper or Aluminum Conductors (#12-#4), Cartridge fuse (13/32 inch by 1-1/2 inch, max 600V 30A, non-glass body)

  1. De-energize and Identify Wires

    WARNING: Danger of Electric Shock! Ensure all associated wires and the working area are completely de-energized before beginning installation. Identify and clearly label the Line and Load side wires to prevent incorrect connections. Match the housing body parts to their respective ends.

  2. Prepare Housing for Cable Entry

    Select the appropriate cut-off ring on the housing for the cable size you are using. Carefully cut off the end of the housing at the tip of the arrow, ensuring the correct cable size opening remains.

  3. Strip and Prepare Cable Insulation

    Strip 1/2 inch of insulation from the end of the conductor. Wipe the cable clean. For easier installation, 'pencil' the end of the cable insulation by tapering it slightly.

  4. Apply Grease and Insert Cable

    Apply silicone grease from the provided packet to the stripped end of the cable and to the cut opening of the housing. Insert the cable into the housing until it extends 2 to 3 inches beyond the housing opening.

  5. Install Fuse Clip onto Conductor

    Slide the fuse clip over the exposed conductor. Using a 1/8 inch hex wrench, securely tighten the set screw on the fuse clip to the conductor. CAUTION: Do not overtighten on smaller sized conductors.

  6. Set Fuse Clip Depth

    Using the supplied wood dowel as an assembly and depth gauge tool, insert the fuse clip into the housing to the depth indicated for the respective line or load side housing as marked on the dowel. DO NOT exceed these depths. Slide the housing over the fuse clip until resistance is felt.

  7. Repeat for Second End and Insert Fuse/Link

    Repeat steps 2 through 6 for the other end (Line or Load) of the inline fuse/disconnect kit. Once both ends are prepared, insert the connecting link (for SDK-M/SDT-M only) or a 13/32 inch by 1-1/2 inch (maximum 600 volt 30 AMP) cartridge fuse into the load-end housing. Do not use glass body fuses.

  8. Mate Housings

    Apply a small amount of silicone grease to the mating surfaces of the housings for ease of assembly. Carefully align and mate the line-end and load-end housings to make the electrical connection, ensuring a secure fit.
