Overview
- Working with engineers from the petrochemical, oil and gas industries, Thomas & Betts then introduced the STAR TECK XP fitting.
- With an easy-to-fill, integral sealing chamber and a disconnectable design requiring minimal cable preparation, this fitting became the benchmark for ease of installation in hazardous environments.
- A line of liquid and putty sealants was also developed at the same time, eliminating the need for the cement sealants used up to this point.
- PVC coated jacket for protection
- Integral sealing chamber for easy filling

How to Install the STX150-471PVC Star Teck Cable Fitting
This guide provides detailed instructions for preparing, installing, and sealing the STX150-471PVC Star Teck PVC cable fitting for power or shielded data cables, ensuring a secure and compliant connection in hazardous locations.
Estimated time: 1h 30m
Tools needed:
Hacksaw, Strap wrenches, Wooden dowel (for putty sealant), Multimeter
Supplies needed:
SC4-KIT-1 LIQUID SEALANT or SC65 PUTTY SEALANT, Fiber damming material (for liquid sealant), Lubricant, Gloves, Personal Protective Equipment (PPE)
- De-energize Circuits and Review Safety
Before beginning installation or performing maintenance, verify that all circuits are de-energized to prevent the risk of electrical shock. Ensure the installation is performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with national and local electrical codes. Wear appropriate Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
- Prepare Cable Armor
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 desired length, taking extreme caution not to nick or cut the conductor insulation. For the STX150-471PVC, trim the outer jacket to expose an armor strip length of 1-3/4 inches.
- Prepare the Cable Boot
Choose one of the following methods to prepare the cable boot: Method 1: Unscrew the gland nut from the body, force the square-cut cable into the boot, and then cut the boot in front of the cable. Method 2: Strip the cable jacket off the armor, then progressively cut slices off the boot until the opening can snugly slide onto the armor. Note: For PVC coated fittings, use strap wrenches only for installation. Apply lubricant where indicated prior to screwing the gland nut.
- Feed Cable and Tighten Gland Nut
Feed the prepared cable through the gland nut opening and push it until the cable armor firmly hits the internal end stop. Tighten the gland nut until an appropriate seal is obtained or to the maximum torque of 1200 IN-LBS for the STX150-471PVC. Ensure the bushing seals evenly around the cable’s outer jacket and the cable remains centered for an optimal seal.
- Disassemble Fitting for Sealing and Prepare Power Cable Conductors
Disassemble the hub from the body sub-assembly by loosening the union. Then, unscrew the sealing chamber from the body sub-assembly. For power cables, trim the inner jacket to a length of 1/8 to 3/8 inches to expose the conductor bundle. If installing shielded data cables, proceed to the next step.
- Prepare Inner Cable for Shielded Data Cables (If Applicable)
If working with shielded data cables, trim the inner jacket to a length of 1/8 to 3/8 inches to expose the shielded conductor bundle. Carefully remove the outer (overall) shield from the conductor bundle, ensuring not to nick or damage any inner shields. Remove any filler materials without disturbing or damaging the inner shields.
- Apply Sealing Compound (Choose One Method)
Select the appropriate sealing compound based on your cable type and application. Option A: Using Liquid-Type Sealing Compound SC4-KIT-1 (Suitable for all power and shielded data cables): Pack fiber damming material tightly into all voids between conductors and the body, spreading uninsulated grounding conductor strands if applicable. Screw the sealing chamber back onto the body subassembly until it completely seats. Position the cable/fitting vertically. Mix the SC4-KIT-1 compound according to its package instructions and dispense it into the sealing chamber until the level stabilizes and fills to the top. Remove any excess compound from the outside of the sealing chamber with a damp cloth. Option B: Using Putty-Type Sealing Compound SC65 (DO NOT use for shielded cables or cables with 5 or more conductors including ground): Spread insulated conductors slightly and uninsulated grounding conductor strands if applicable. Thoroughly mix the two parts of the SC65 compound until a uniform blue color is achieved (usable life is 30 minutes at 70°F/21°C or above). Apply a small portion of compound between insulated conductors and grounding conductor strands, then bring conductors back together and apply compound all around them, forming a plug approximately equal to the sealing chamber's small inside diameter and length. Slide the sealing chamber onto the cable and compound, then screw it to the body sub-assembly until it seats completely, removing any excess compound. Fill the throat area of the sealing chamber with compound, using a suitable wooden dowel to pack it tightly around conductors. Remove any excess compound from the outside of the sealing chamber with a damp cloth.
- Mount Hub and Secure Assembly
Mount the hub in the desired location. After the sealing compound has solidified (allow approximately one hour for both types), place the encapsulated assembly into the hub. Secure it in position by tightening the union until it bottoms out, ensuring metal-to-metal contact. If using putty, repack compound tightly around conductors if required and allow it to set for approximately one hour before disturbing conductors.
