19. Loosening Termination
This operation is vital to the simple
installation of the product.
There are two terminations in this kit (one
with three sheds, the other with five). Loosen
both in the manner shown opposite. Install
the five shed termination first.
Hold the termination in one hand and the
holdout in the other. Gripping firmly, twist
the termination and holdout in opposite
directions. Repeat twisting the termination
and holdout, moving the hand in short
increments up the termination until the entire
termination is felt to move on the holdout.
Slide the termination until it lines up with the
end of the holdout tube as shown. Note:
Take care not to slide the termination off the
end of the holdout. Stop the termination
about 1/4” (6mm) from the end of the
holdout.
20. Installing the termination.
Position the holdout over the cable until
it meets the jacket cutback. Twist the
termination and slowly push it to the end
of the holdout.
Slide the termination off the holdout with
a twisting motion, holding the termination
that is on the holdout in one hand and
pulling the holdout with the other.
Note: Do NOT stretch the termination.
Do NOT hold the termination that is
partially installed and attempt to pull the
remaining termination off the holdout, as this
will stretch the termination and generate an
improperly installed termination if not
repositioned.
Using the pull tabs, pull the flip-back
portion away from the main termination, at
the same time working the first two fingers
of each hand between the flip-back and main
termination. Pull the stretched out flip-back
over the cable jacket and sealant.
Make sure the termination length is in
accordance with the dimensions shown.
Having positioned the termination, now
wrap one layer tape sealant (red) over the
end of the termination and 1/4” (6mm) onto
the cable insulation as shown.
