16. Rewrap the outer double layer of

copper tape into place over the copper
strands. Push the compression ring back
up over the wrapped copper strands and
up against the cone (see Figure 6 on
page 10).

17. Fit the main coupling piece from

the coupling set carefully over the end of
the cable ensuring the cable is pushed up
as far as it will go into the coupling.
Ensure the copper strands are kept in
place and order. Screw the compression
nut into the coupling piece and tighten,
using the correct size spanners/wrenches.

18. At a distance of 100mm (4 in.)

from the end of the cable, wrap one half-
lapped layer of semi-conductive tape
around the triple layer insulation with an
overlap towards the copper tape/copper
strand center conductor up to, but not
over, the compression coupling.
