MATERIALS REQUIRED:

 The wrap around heat shrinkable cable sleeves used shall be as per
approved material submittal.
 Thinned copper cable lug(jointer)

Heat shrinkable cable sleeve


 The sleeve is made from modified cross-linked polyolefin, with a hot-
melt adhesive liner on the inner side of the sleeve.
 Upon heating, the sleeve shrinks and the adhesive melts, creating a
water-tight bond between the sleeve and the cable.
 Wraparound Cable Repair Sleeves meet ANSI C119.1 requirements.

 A corrosion proof metal channel is used to close the sleeve during


installation.
 Install heat-shrinkable cable accessories with a “clean burning”
torch– a propane fuel torch that does not deposit soot or
contaminants on the product

Cable Sheath Repairing / Installation Instruction


 Product selection: Depending on the cable diameter and the
maximum length of damaged area, the required size of sleeve is
selected from the manufacturer catalogue.

Cleaning the cable:


 Using an approved solvent, clean and degrease the damaged area and
the cable on either side of the damage as shown. Remove any sharp
points from the area to be covered with the sleeve.
COPPER COMPRESSION CONNECTOR
INSTALLATION
 Use a connector marked for the wire size and wire material to be
used.
 Never use a copper connector on aluminum wire.

 Strip wire insulation to approximate length shown on tool chart.

 Do not nick or ring the conductor strands.

 Clean the wire.

 Insert stripped wire into connector until the wire stops

 Using installation tooling shown on other side, insert connector in die


and crimp between color bands or knurl markings.
 After crimping, inspect for sharp edges, flash or burrs and remove if
present
Center sleeve; mark cable:
 Center sleeve over damaged area. Mark cable as shown. Remove the
release paper from the sleeve.

Slide channel over the rails:


 But the rails together and slide the channel over the rails. Center
sleeve between marks. Note: Channel must extend beyond the sleeve
edge as shown

Shrink sleeve:
 Preheat the metal channel area for approximately 15 seconds.
Continue shrinking at the center (1), working torch with a smooth

brushing motion around the sleeve. After the center portion shrinks,
work torch as before toward one end (2), then to the opposite end (3)
as shown in the figure.
 When using the torch adjust regulator and torch as required to
provide an overall 12- inch bushy flame. Use the yellow tip for
shrinking

Post-heat Sleeve:
 Post-heat the entire length, concentrating on the metal channel area,
until the sleeve conforms tightly to the cable, without wrinkles, and
adhesive flows from each end. This completes the installation. Discard
black cloth tape and sealant. Note: Allow to cool before moving or
placing in service

INSPECTION & TESTING


 All cables after repair shall be tested for continuity and Insulation
resistance as required.
 Results of Inspection & testing shall be recorded on the Inspection
requests & test reports.
