How to Install a Star Teck ST300-480 Cable Fitting

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the safe and proper installation of a Star Teck ST300-480 cable fitting, including cable preparation and sealing. Installation must be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

Estimated time: 30m

Tools needed:

Hacksaw, Wire strippers, Torque wrench

Supplies needed:

Star Teck ST300-480 Cable Fitting, Armored Cable

  1. Prepare for Installation and Select Fitting

    WARNING: Disconnect power before installation to prevent risk of shock. Select the appropriate Star Teck ST300-480 fitting to accommodate the enclosure and the specific armored cable being used. Ensure the fitting's range over armor (2.912-3.190 in) and range over jacket (3.000-3.270 in) are suitable for your cable.

  2. Prepare the Cable

    Determine the working length of the conductor required 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 specified strip length of 3 inches for the ST300-480. 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 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 of the fitting.

  4. Tighten the Gland Nut for Seal

    Tighten the gland nut until an appropriate seal is obtained around the cable's outer jacket, or to the maximum torque of 1200 in-lbs for the ST300-480. Ensure the bushing seals evenly around the cable’s outer jacket and the cable remains centered within the fitting to achieve an optimal seal.
