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.
- Stainless steel retaining ring and non-magnetic construction for durability
- Disconnectable design requires minimal cable preparation.

Instructions for preparing and installing the STX200-472PVC Star Teck™ PVC cable fitting, including sealing procedures.
Estimated time: 1h
Tools needed:
Hacksaw, Strap wrenches (for PVC coated fittings), Wooden dowel (for putty sealant)
Supplies needed:
SC4-KIT-1 Liquid Sealant or SC65 Putty Sealant (purchased separately), Lubricant
- Prepare the cable jacket and armor
Determine the working length. Remove a portion of the outer jacket to expose the armor, then cut the armor using a hacksaw. Be careful not to nick the conductor insulation. Trim the outer jacket to expose the armor strip length as indicated in the table.
- Cut the cable boot
To determine where to cut the cable boot, either unscrew the gland nut and force the cable into the boot, cutting the boot in front of the cable, or progressively cut slices off the boot until it can snugly slide on the armor.
- Feed cable through gland nut
Feed the cable through the gland nut opening and push until the cable armor hits the end stop. Apply lubricant where indicated prior to screwing the gland nut.
- Tighten the gland nut
Tighten the gland nut until an appropriate seal is obtained or to the maximum torque specified in the table. Ensure the cable remains centered for an optimal seal. For PVC coated fittings, use strap wrenches only.
- Prepare for sealing
Disassemble the hub from the body sub-assembly. Unscrew the sealing chamber from the body sub-assembly. For shielded data cables, trim the inner jacket to 1/8"-3/8" to expose the conductor bundle, remove the outer shield, and remove filler materials without disturbing inner shields.
- Apply sealing compound
If using SC4-KIT-1 liquid sealant, pack fiber damming material into voids and spread grounding conductor strands. Mix the compound, dispense into the sealing chamber until the level stabilizes (fill to the top for fittings up to STX250-476, or half for larger fittings, wait 2 hours, then fill to the top). If using SC65 putty sealant (not for shielded cables or cables with 5+ conductors), mix the two parts until uniform, apply to conductors and fill voids, then slide the sealing chamber onto the cable and compound, screwing it to the body sub-assembly. Pack compound tightly around conductors in the throat area using a wooden dowel.
- Assemble and secure the fitting
Screw the sealing chamber back onto the body sub-assembly. Mount the hub in the desired location. Once the sealing compound is solidified (approximately 1 hour for liquid, or set for approximately one hour after packing for putty), place the encapsulated assembly into the hub and secure by tightening the union until it bottoms (metal to metal contact). Clean any excess compound from the outside of the sealing chamber with a damp cloth.
