Step 9.
Install shear bolt connector
ote: N Refer to the separate installation instructions
supplied with the shear bolt connector.
• Install the centering ring.
• Refer to Figure 11 and Table 1 to determine what size
conductors require a centering ring and the correct
color to use.
• Wire brush conductor (aluminum only).
• Immediately insert the conductor completely into the
barrel of the lug and rotate the connector to distribute the
inhibitor.
• Align the flats of the connector and apparatus bushing for
minimum conductor strain.
ote: N Connector must be fully seated on cable conductor.
• With an Allen hex key as specified in Table 2, screw in
bolt No. 1 until it breaks off smoothly. Proceed with bolt
No. 2 in a similar way. If the lug has more than two (2)
bolts, continue with bolt No. 3 and bolt No. 4 (not shown
in
Figure 11
). See
Figure 11
for tightening sequences.
• Once all the bolts have broken off, smooth any rough
edges with a file and install the covering caps. Carefully
clean off any filings.
• Wipe excess inhibitor from connector and adapter
surfaces.
Step 10.
Check di men sions
• Check the length from the end of the com pres sion con-
nec tor to the top of the cable adapter.
• The length should be no longer than “E” dimension.
(Re fer to Figure 12 and Table 2.)
Install BOL-T T-body with mating parts
Step 11.
Install DT625 T-body
• Clean and lubricate outside of the cable adapter with
lubricant supplied.
• Clean and lubricate the inside of T-body with the lubricant
supplied.
ote: N If test point T-body is used, ensure the test point
is opposite the front plate side of the T-body.
• Without moving the cable adapter, slide the T-body onto
the cable adapter until the compression connector eye is
centered in 600 A interfaces. (Refer to Figure 13.)
ote: N The end of the cable adapter must line up with
the top edge of the tape marker after T-body
assembly. Refer to Figure 10.
• Remove the tape marker from the cable.
• Go to "Step 12." on page 12, to complete T-body ter-
mination.
