How to Install the STX125-469PVC Cable Fitting
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for preparing, assembling, and sealing the STX125-469PVC cable fitting for power or shielded data cables, ensuring a secure and code-compliant installation.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Hacksaw, Strap wrenches, Wooden dowel (if using putty sealant), Gloves (PPE)
Supplies needed:
Sealing compound (SC4-KIT-1 LIQUID SEALANT or SC65 PUTTY SEALANT - purchased separately), Fiber damming material (for liquid sealant), Lubricant
- De-energize Circuits and Review Safety
WARNING: Verify all circuits are de-energized before beginning installation or performing maintenance to prevent electrical shock. Ensure installation is performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes. CAUTION: For hazardous locations, these fittings must be assembled with one of the specified sealing compounds.
- Prepare Cable for Fitting
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.
- Trim Outer Jacket and Prepare Boot
Trim the outer jacket to expose the armor strip length as indicated in the product table (1-1/4 inches for STX125-469PVC). Next, prepare the cable boot by either Method 1 (unscrew gland nut, force cable in boot, cut boot in front of cable) or Method 2 (strip cable jacket off armor, progressively cut slices off boot until it snugly slides onto the armor).
- Feed Cable and Secure Gland Nut
Feed the prepared cable through the gland nut opening and push it until the cable armor firmly hits the end stop. Apply lubricant where indicated prior to tightening the gland nut. Tighten the gland nut until an appropriate seal is obtained or to the maximum torque of 1000 IN-LBS for the STX125-469PVC. Ensure the bushing seals evenly around the cable's outer jacket and the cable remains centered for an optimal seal. Use strap wrenches for PVC coated fittings.
- Disassemble Fitting and Prepare Conductors
Disassemble the hub from the body sub-assembly by loosening the union, then 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. If installing shielded data cables, additionally remove the outer (overall) shield from the conductor bundle and remove filler materials, taking care not to nick or damage inner shields.
- Apply Liquid Sealing Compound (SC4-KIT-1)
This method is suitable for all power and shielded data cables. Pack fiber damming material tightly into all voids between conductors and the body, spreading strands of any uninsulated grounding conductor where applicable. Screw the sealing chamber back onto the body subassembly until it completely seats. Position the cable/fitting into a vertical position. Mix the SC4-KIT-1 sealing compound according to its package instructions and dispense it into the end of the sealing chamber until the compound level stabilizes at the top. CAUTION: Remove all excess compound material from the outside of the sealing chamber with a damp cloth.
- Mount Hub and Secure Assembly
Allow the liquid sealing compound to solidify for approximately 1 hour. Once solidified, mount the hub in the desired location. Place the encapsulated assembly into the hub and secure it in position by tightening the union until it bottoms (metal-to-metal contact).
