How to Install Star Teck™ ST050-462 Series Cable Fittings

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of Star Teck™ ST050-462 to ST400-486 series cable fittings, ensuring a secure and sealed connection for armored cables.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Hacksaw, Wrench

Supplies needed:

Star Teck™ ST050-462 Series Cable Fitting, Armored Cable, Enclosure or Device

  1. Prepare for Installation and Select Fitting

    WARNING: Risk of shock, disconnect power before installation. CAUTION: Product should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Begin by selecting the appropriate Star Teck™ cable fitting that accommodates both the enclosure or device and the specific armored cable you are using. Refer to the product table in the documentation for compatibility based on cable jacket and armor ranges.

  2. Prepare the Armored Cable

    Determine the required working length of the conductor inside the enclosure or device. Carefully remove a portion of the cable's outer jacket to expose the armor. Use a hacksaw to cut the armor to the appropriate strip length, as indicated in the product table. Trim the outer jacket to adjust the exposed armor strip length. CAUTION: Do not nick or cut the conductor insulation during this process.

  3. Insert Cable into Fitting

    Feed the prepared armored cable through the gland nut opening of the fitting. Push the cable until its armor firmly hits the internal end stop of the fitting.

  4. Tighten the Gland Nut

    Tighten the gland nut until an appropriate seal is achieved or to the maximum torque specified in the product table. Ensure the bushing seals evenly around the cable's outer jacket and that the cable remains centered within the fitting for an optimal seal.
