How to Install Star Teck Extreme STE Cable Fittings

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for preparing armored cable and properly installing Star Teck Extreme STE series cable fittings to ensure a secure and sealed connection, in accordance with national and local electrical codes.

Estimated time: 15m

Tools needed:

Hacksaw, Wire strippers, Torque wrench, Screwdriver

Supplies needed:

Star Teck Extreme STE series cable fitting, Armored cable

  1. Disconnect Power and Select Fitting

    WARNING: Risk of shock, disconnect all power to the circuit before beginning installation. CAUTION: This product must be installed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Select the appropriate Star Teck Extreme STE series cable fitting that matches the enclosure and the armored cable you are using.

  2. Prepare the Armored Cable

    Determine the required working length of conductors inside the enclosure or device. Carefully remove a portion of the cable's outer jacket to expose the armor. Using a hacksaw, cut the armor to the specified strip length from the provided table (Figure 1). Trim the outer jacket to match the exposed armor strip length, ensuring the strip length is the same as the length of the gland nut (Figure 2). CAUTION: Do not nick or cut the conductor insulation during this process.

  3. Insert Cable into Fitting

    Feed the prepared cable through the gland funnel entry of the fitting. Push the cable until its armor firmly contacts the internal armor stop (Figure 3). Ensure proper positioning to prevent improper cable armor grounding. If the inner conductor bundle does not pass through, unscrew and discard the armor stop (Figure 6), then re-insert the cable.

  4. Secure the Cable Fitting

    Tighten the gland nut to the maximum torque specified in the table (Figure 4) or until an appropriate seal is achieved. Verify that the bushing and collar ring seal evenly around the cable's outer jacket and are flush with the gland nut face (Figure 5). Ensure the cable remains centered within the fitting to obtain an optimal seal.
