Overview

The ABB Star Teck XP hazardous location steel jacketed cable fitting (SKU: STX050-464S) is a field-proven solution for petrochemical, oil, and gas installations requiring UL-listed hazardous area protection. Designed by Thomas & Betts engineers in collaboration with industry experts, this fitting features an integral sealing chamber that simplifies installation while maintaining IP66/IP68 ingress protection. The disconnectable design reduces cable preparation time by up to 40% compared to traditional cement-sealed fittings, enabling faster commissioning in refineries, offshore platforms, and chemical plants. The 1/2" NPT hub accommodates steel-jacketed cables with outer diameters between 0.600" and 0.760", providing a secure mechanical grip and environmental seal. Compatible with ABB’s line of liquid and putty sealants, this fitting eliminates the need for messy cement applications while ensuring long-term reliability in Class I, Division 1/2 and Zone 1/2 hazardous locations. Certified for use in explosive atmospheres, it meets NEC 501 and IEC 60079 standards. Ideal for conduit systems requiring UL 514B compliance, the Star Teck XP fitting reduces inventory complexity by supporting multiple cable types with a single fitting design.

How to Install STX Series Star Teck Cable Fittings

This guide outlines the installation process for STX Series Star Teck™ cable fittings, including cable preparation and sealing with liquid compound, suitable for hazardous locations.

Estimated time: 2h

Tools needed:

Hacksaw, Wrench, Damp cloth, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)

Supplies needed:

STX Series Cable Fitting, Cable (compatible with STX series), SC4-KIT-1 LIQUID SEALANT, Fiber damming material

  1. De-energize Circuits and Prepare Cable

    WARNING: Risk of electrical shock. Before installing or performing maintenance, verify that all circuits are de-energized. Determine the required working length of conductors 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.

  2. Trim Outer Jacket and Feed Cable

    Trim the outer jacket to adjust the exposed armor strip length as indicated in the product table (e.g., 0.485 inches for STX050-464). Feed the cable through the gland nut opening and push until the cable armor hits the end stop.

  3. Tighten Gland Nut

    Tighten the gland nut until an appropriate seal is obtained or to the maximum torque specified in the table (e.g., 300 IN-LBS for STX050-464). Ensure the bushing and collar ring seal evenly around the cable’s outer jacket and are flush with the gland nut face. Ensure the cable remains centered for an optimal seal.

  4. Disassemble Fitting and Trim Inner Jacket

    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” to expose the conductor bundle. (For shielded data cables, refer to Section 2 of the original document for additional steps before proceeding).

  5. Pack Fiber Damming Material and Re-attach Sealing Chamber

    Pack the fiber damming material tightly into all voids between the conductors and the body. Spread strands of uninsulated grounding conductor where applicable. Screw the sealing chamber back onto the body sub-assembly until it completely seats on the body.

  6. Apply Liquid Sealing Compound

    Position the cable/fitting into a vertical position. Mix the SC4-KIT-1 liquid sealing compound following the instructions provided on its package. Dispense the sealing compound into the end of the sealing chamber until the level of compound stabilizes and fills to the top (for fittings up to and including STX250-476, which includes STX050-464). CAUTION: Remove all excess compound material from outside of the sealing chamber with a damp cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners that may damage the flame path.

  7. Mount Hub and Secure Assembly

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