8.9.2 Fibre Grip Microduct
Product Code 70207
This device comprises of a tapered split rubber stopper that is placed around the fibre unit and inserted into the end of a microduct.
Compatible Fibre Units: 2f and 4f Emtelle Fibre Unit
Compatible Microduct: 3.5mm ID
Length: 25mm nominal
In common with all Emtelle Fibre Restraint methods, the fibre unit sheath (yellow in the photograph on
the left) must be removed to allow the restraint device to grip directly onto the acrylate fibre bundle.
Failure to do this will be detrimental in terms of water blocking and restraining force.
8.9.3 Fibre Grip Connector
4f Fibre Grip Connector 5-3mm Product Code: 70183
4f Fibre Grip Connector 8-3mm Product Code: 70184
This device comprises of a tapered rubber stopper that is threaded onto the fibre unit and inserted into reducing connector. When a microduct is
inserted, the rubber stopper and the connector work together to provide the restraint force and water block.
Compatible Fibre Units: 2f and 4f Emtelle Fibre Unit
Compatible Microduct: 5/3.5mm (use product code 70183)
8/3.5mm (use product code 70184)
In common with all Emtelle Fibre Restraint methods, the fibre unit sheath (yellow
in the photograph on the right) must be removed to allow the restraint device to
grip directly onto the acrylate fibre bundle. Failure to do this will be detrimental
in terms of water blocking and restraining force.
Practical exercise - Lock & Block Procedure
You will be guided through the sequence of FU securing by the L&B method:
■ Select all the L&B points in the vicinity. (eg next to a fibre tray)
■ Fit a L&B stem into each connector at that location
■ Install FU through stem and connector
■ Inject the 2-part resin down the side-vent so it encloses the FU completely.
■ Ensure no movement while the resin sets
Note it is economical to set up all L&B in the vicinity so as to inject resin into them all at the same
time. This saves resin.
Each resin-filled location now provides:
■ Non-movement of the FU at this connector
■ A fully sealed m/d (ie waterblock equivalent)
