Overview

The ABB STX050-462SPVC is a steel fitting designed for demanding industrial applications, featuring a 1/2 inch hub size. This fitting is engineered to accommodate outer jacket diameters ranging from 0.525 to 0.65 inches, ensuring compatibility with a specific range of cables. A key feature of this model is its robust PVC coating, which provides enhanced protection against environmental factors and corrosion, crucial for longevity in harsh conditions. Developed with input from engineers in the petrochemical, oil and gas industries, the STAR TECK XP fitting, of which this is a part, set a new standard for ease of installation in hazardous environments. Its integral sealing chamber is designed for straightforward filling, and the disconnectable nature of the fitting minimizes the preparation required for cable installation. This design philosophy eliminates the need for traditional cement sealants, as a line of liquid and putty sealants was developed concurrently to simplify the sealing process. The STX050-462SPVC, manufactured by ABB Installation Products, offers a reliable and efficient solution for cable termination and protection in critical infrastructure sectors. Its construction and features are geared towards reducing installation time and complexity while maintaining a high level of safety and performance. The UNSPSC code for this product is 39121311.

How to Install STX Series Star Teck PVC Cable Fittings

This guide provides step-by-step instructions for the proper installation of STX Series Star Teck PVC cable fittings, including cable preparation, assembly, and sealing using liquid-type compound. Ensure all safety precautions are followed.

Estimated time: 1h 30m

Tools needed:

Hacksaw, Strap wrenches, Wire strippers

Supplies needed:

SC4-KIT-1 LIQUID SEALANT, Fiber damming material, Lubricant, Damp cloth, Gloves (PPE)

  1. Prepare for Installation and Cable

    WARNING: Verify all circuits are de-energized before starting. Determine the working length of conductors required inside the enclosure or device. Remove a portion of the outer jacket to expose the armor, then cut the armor using a hacksaw. CAUTION: Do not nick or cut the conductor insulation. Trim the outer jacket to expose the armor strip length as indicated in the product table for your specific STX model.

  2. Prepare and Attach Cable Boot and Gland Nut

    Unscrew the gland nut from the fitting body. Determine where to cut the cable boot: either force the square-cut cable into the boot and cut the boot in front of the cable, or progressively cut slices off the boot until the opening can snugly slide onto the armor. Feed the prepared cable through the gland nut opening and push until the cable armor hits the end stop. Apply lubricant where indicated prior to tightening the gland nut. Tighten the gland nut using strap wrenches until an appropriate seal is obtained or to the maximum torque specified in the product table. Ensure the bushing seals evenly around the cable's outer jacket and the cable remains centered to obtain an optimal seal.

  3. Disassemble Fitting and Prepare Conductors

    Disassemble the hub from the body sub-assembly by loosening the union. Unscrew the sealing chamber from the body sub-assembly. Trim the inner jacket to a length of 1/8 to 3/8 inches to expose the conductor bundle.

  4. Apply Liquid Sealing Compound SC4-KIT-1

    Pack the fiber damming material tightly into all voids between conductors and the body. Spread strands of any uninsulated grounding conductor where applicable. Screw the sealing chamber back onto the body subassembly until it completely seats on the body. Position the cable and fitting into a vertical orientation. Mix the SC4-KIT-1 liquid sealing compound following instructions provided on its package. Dispense the compound into the end of the sealing chamber until the level stabilizes. For fittings up to and including STX250-476, fill to the top. For fittings STX300-478 and up, fill approximately HALF of the sealing chamber, wait 2 hours, then fill the rest to the top. CAUTION: Remove all excess compound material from outside of the sealing chamber with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners such as powder cleaners, sand paper, steel wool, or wire brush that may damage the flame path.

  5. Mount Hub and Secure Assembly

    Mount the hub in the desired location. When the sealing compound is solidified (after approximately 1 hour), place the encapsulated assembly into the hub and secure in position by tightening the union until it bottoms (metal to metal contact).
