Step 9
Install compression connector
ote:N Refer to chart supplied with the crimp connector for
tool and die to be used.

Wire brush conductor, only if it is aluminum.

Remove protective cap from compression connector.

Insert conductor completely into compression connector
and rotate connector to distribute inhibitor.
ote:N Connector must be fully seated on cable conductor.

Align flats of compression connector and apparatus
bushing for minimum conductor strain.

Make first crimp 1/2” (13 mm) below shoulder of
compression connector. (Refer to Figure 10.)


Wipe excess inhibitor from connector and
adapter surfac es.
Step 10
Check dimensions

Check length from end of compression connector to top
of cable adapter.

Length should be between 6 3/4” and 7 3/4”

Step 11
Install T-body

Clean and lubricate outside of cable adapter with
lubricantsupplied.

Clean and lubricate inside of T-Body with
lubricantsupplied.
ote:N If test point T-Body is used, insure test point is
opposite front plate side of T-Body.

Without moving the cable adapter, slide T-Body onto cable
adapter until compression connector eye is centered in
600 A interfaces. (Refer to Figure 12.)
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 9.

Install loadbreak reducing tap plug (LRTP) into t-Body

Clean and then lubricate mating 600 A interface of
the LRTP and T-Body with lubricant supplied or CPS
approvedequivalent.

Check that compression connector flats are parallel to
apparatus bushing.

Remove shipping cap from 200 A LRTP interface and
thread protector from 15/16” threads.

Insert T-Wrench into throat of LRTP and through rotating
nut and engage alignment segment. (T-Wrench will not
rotate without entire LRTP rotating.)

Insert threaded ferrule end of LRTP into side of T-Body
opposite apparatus bushing. (Refer to Figure 13.)
