How to Install Star Teck PVC Cable Fitting ST250-477SPVC
This guide provides detailed instructions for the safe and correct installation of the ST250-477SPVC Star Teck PVC cable fitting, covering cable preparation, boot trimming, and final sealing.
Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
Strap wrenches, Hacksaw, Torque wrench
Supplies needed:
ST250-477SPVC cable fitting, Armored cable, Wire pulling lubricant (optional)
- Prepare for Installation and Select Appropriate Fitting
WARNING: Disconnect power before installation to prevent risk of shock. Ensure the product is installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Select the ST250-477SPVC fitting to accommodate your enclosure and cable, verifying the cable's armor and jacket diameters are within the specified ranges (Armor: 2.380-2.640 in., Jacket: 2.261 in. for ST250-477PVC).
- Prepare the Armored Cable
Determine the required working length of the cable. Carefully remove a portion of the outer jacket to expose the cable armor. Using a hacksaw, cut the armor to the specified strip length (2.240-2.560 in. for ST250-477PVC) and trim the outer jacket to adjust the exposed armor length as indicated in the table.
- Prepare the Cable Boot
Choose one of two methods to prepare the cable boot for a snug fit. Method 1: Unscrew the gland nut from the body, force the square-cut cable into the boot, and then cut the boot in front of the cable. Method 2: Strip the cable jacket off the armor, then progressively cut slices off the boot until the opening can snugly slide onto the armor. CAUTION: Do not over-strip the boot; there should be no gaps between the boot and the cable jacket.
- Insert Cable into Fitting
Apply wire pulling lubricant (e.g., cat. number 15-236) to the cable for easier installation if desired. Feed the prepared cable through the gland nut opening and push it firmly until the cable armor makes contact with the internal end stop of the fitting.
- Tighten Gland Nut and Ensure Seal
Using strap wrenches, tighten the gland nut until an appropriate seal is obtained or to the maximum torque of 1600 in-lbs for the ST250-477SPVC. Ensure the bushing seals evenly around the cable’s outer jacket and that the cable remains centered within the fitting to achieve an optimal and secure seal.
