How to Install the XD Expansion/Deflection Coupling
This guide provides step-by-step instructions for installing the XD Expansion/Deflection coupling, designed to protect conduit wiring systems from movement. Always ensure installation is performed on a de-energized line and avoid twisting the unit to prevent damage to the grounding strap.
Estimated time: 30m
Tools needed:
Pipe wrench, Wrench, Ohmmeter
Supplies needed:
Electrically conductive compound (e.g., Kopr-Shield®)
- Apply Conductive Compound (Wet Locations)
If installing the coupling in a wet location, apply a thin coat of an electrically conductive compound, such as Kopr-Shield®, on the first three internal NPT threads of the coupling. This step enhances conductivity and protects the mating surfaces from corrosion.
- Secure the Union Nut
Wrench-tighten the Union Nut (A) as depicted in Figure 2 of the documentation. Ensure this nut is securely fastened before proceeding with the connection of the conduits.
- Connect the First Conduit
Thread the NPT Stationary Coupling End (E) onto Conduit (#1). Finish tightening this connection with a pipe wrench until it is wrench-tight. Important: DO NOT use the Union Coupling End (F) for tightening, as this action could damage the internal grounding strip.
- Connect the Second Conduit
With the Union Nut (A) already wrench-tight, firmly hold the Union Coupling End (F). Then, thread Conduit (#2) into the NPT Union Coupling (B). Finish tightening this connection with a pipe wrench until it is wrench-tight, referring to Figure 2 for visual guidance.
- Perform Ground Continuity Test
Before energizing the electrical line, use an Ohmmeter or other suitable testing equipment to verify that ground continuity has been properly established. Failure to ensure proper grounding will create an electrical shock hazard, which can cause serious injury or death. Always adhere to all NEC and local electrical codes during and after installation.
