Overview

The ABB ST125-550SPVC is a steel PVC fitting designed for Teck and ACWU cable terminations in industrial environments. Part of the STAR TECK Series, this fitting features a pop-on design that eliminates disassembly for faster installation compared to traditional designs. The splined gland and gripping features ensure secure cable retention and strain relief, preventing pull-out under load. The fitting accommodates a 1-1/4" hub size and handles outer jacket diameters from 1.5 to 1.625 inches, making it suitable for medium-duty applications in manufacturing, utilities, and infrastructure projects. Constructed from durable steel with PVC coating, it provides corrosion resistance and long-term reliability in harsh conditions. The STAR TECK Series was developed with direct input from end-users, addressing common pain points in cable management such as installation time and termination security. This fitting is ideal for use in control panels, motor connections, and junction boxes where reliable cable strain relief is critical. Compatible with Teck 90 and ACWU 90 cables, it meets industrial standards for mechanical protection and electrical continuity.

How to Install Star Teck PVC Cable Fittings

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing Star Teck PVC cable fittings, including cable preparation, boot trimming, and final tightening to ensure a proper seal.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Hacksaw, Strap wrenches, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

Star Teck PVC Cable Fitting, Cable, Wire pulling lubricant (optional)

  1. Select Fitting and Prepare Cable

    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. Select the appropriate Star Teck PVC cable fitting based on your enclosure and cable specifications. Determine the working length of the cable. Remove a portion of the outer jacket to expose the cable armor. Using a hacksaw, cut the cable armor to the required strip length as indicated in the product table, then trim the outer jacket to match this exposed armor length.

  2. Trim the Cable Boot

    CAUTION: Do not over strip the boot; there should be no gaps between the boot and the cable jacket. To determine where to cut the cable boot, use one of two methods: Method 1: Unscrew the gland nut from the fitting body, force the square-cut cable into the boot, and then cut the boot directly in front of the cable. Method 2: Strip the cable jacket off the armor, then progressively cut slices off the boot until its opening can snugly slide onto the cable armor.

  3. Insert Cable and Tighten Gland Nut

    Feed the prepared cable through the gland nut opening of the fitting. Push the cable until its armor firmly hits the internal end stop. Using strap wrenches, tighten the gland nut until you achieve an appropriate seal around the cable's outer jacket, or tighten to the maximum torque specified in the product table. Verify that the bushing seals evenly around the cable's outer jacket and that the cable remains centered to ensure an optimal and secure seal.
