Overview

The ABB STAR TECK Series ST125-550PVC cable fitting is a pop-on aluminum fitting with PVC coating, designed for teck and ACWU cable terminations in industrial environments. Engineered as a natural extension of the 10464 Series, this fitting incorporates direct feedback from end-users to deliver optimized installation efficiency and termination reliability. The 1-1/4 inch hub size accommodates cable jackets ranging from 1.500 to 1.625 inches, ensuring secure and consistent fits across standard teck cable dimensions. The splined gland and gripping features provide enhanced mechanical retention, reducing the risk of cable pull-out or rotation under load. The pop-on design eliminates the need for disassembly during installation, reducing labor time by up to 40% compared to traditional threaded fittings. The aluminum body offers corrosion resistance in harsh environments, while the PVC coating provides additional protection against abrasion and chemical exposure. This fitting is ideal for use in mining, oil & gas, manufacturing, and utilities where teck and ACWU cables are standard for power distribution and control circuits. Compatible with ABB’s STAR TECK Series, the ST125-550PVC ensures safe, reliable terminations in challenging industrial applications.

How to Install the ST125-550PVC Cable Fitting

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for properly installing the ST125-550PVC cable fitting, ensuring a secure and sealed connection for armored cables. IMPORTANT: Disconnect power before installation to prevent risk of shock. This product should be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Strap wrenches, Hacksaw

Supplies needed:

Armored cable, Wire pulling lubricant (optional)

  1. Select the Correct Fitting

    Consult the assembly and table within the product documentation to choose the appropriate ST-PVC cable fitting that matches your enclosure and cable specifications.

  2. Prepare the Cable Armor

    Determine the required working length of the cable. Carefully remove a portion of the outer jacket to expose the cable armor. Use a hacksaw to cut the armor, then trim the outer jacket to achieve the exposed armor strip length specified in the product table (refer to Figures 1 and 2 in the documentation).

  3. Trim the Cable Boot

    Select one of two methods to trim the cable boot: Method 1: Unscrew the gland nut, force the square-cut cable into the boot, and cut the boot directly in front of the cable (Figure 3A). Method 2: Strip the cable jacket from the armor, then progressively cut slices off the boot until its opening snugly slides onto the armor (Figure 3B). CAUTION: Do not over-strip the boot; ensure no gaps remain between the boot and cable jacket.

  4. Insert Cable into Fitting

    Feed the prepared cable through the gland nut opening. Push the cable until the cable armor firmly hits the internal end stop of the fitting (refer to Figure 4). Using wire pulling lubricant (cat. number 15-236) can facilitate easier insertion.

  5. Secure and Seal the Fitting

    Using strap wrenches, tighten the gland nut until an appropriate seal is achieved or to the maximum torque specified in the product table (refer to Figure 5). Ensure the bushing seals evenly around the cable's outer jacket and the cable remains centered for an optimal, watertight seal.
