Elbow and probe contact installation
Step 5
Clean the exposed conductor using a wire brush.
Place the coppertop (bimetal) connector on the conductor.
Make sure threaded hole in connector faces the
apparatus bushing.
Crimp the connector in place using a tool and die
combination listed in Table 1. Start crimping just below the
knurled line and rotate each successive crimp to prevent
bowing. Do not overlap crimps. Place as many crimps on
the connector as will fit.
Step 6
Clean excess inhibitor grease from coppertop connector by
wiping toward threaded eye.
Clean insulation with a lint free cloth saturated with a
cleaning solution. Wipe insulation toward insulation shield.
Apply a thin coating of grease to the insulation.
Clean and lubricate the cable entrance of the elbow.
Place elbow on cable. With a twisting motion, push elbow
onto cable until threaded eye of coppertop connector is
visible in the elbow interface.
Step 7
Use the provided hex-probe installation tool to install probe
contact into the compression connector. Take care not to
cross-thread probe.
Proper torque is applied when the tool achieves a 180° bend.
ote:N If a different installation tool is used it must apply a
torque of 60-80 in-lbs to achieve proper installation.
Attach a ground lead to the grounding eye of the elbow.
Step 8
Clean the elbow and bushing interface and apply a thin
uniform layer of silicone lubricant to both interfaces. Push
the elbow onto the bushing until it is fully seated.
Hook the legs of the bail assembly into the tabs of the bushing
clamp. Thread the eyebolt of the bail assembly tight against the
back of the pulling eye of the elbow. (See Figure 2.)
