[. . . ] C Spread out the cable cores and the individual strands of uninsulated conductors for the compound packing. 7 for compound preparation. Connection Solutions Hawke International is a division of Hubbell Ltd. Registered Office: Mitre House, 160 Aldersgate Street, London EC1A 4DD. [. . . ] The mixing and installation of the compound at an ambient temperature below 5°C is not recommended due to extended curing periods. 5 5 4 2 3 2 2 1 1 1 G To further locate and support the compound and brass pot assembly, while holding the middle nut with a spanner / wrench, tighten the backnut until the seal grips the cable to prevent movement of the cable gland. H Allow the compound to cure. Untighten firstly the backnut from and secondly the middle nut from the entry . Check that compound has cured. IMPORTANT: The conductors must not be moved for a minimum of four hours. AI 316 - Issue M / Page 2 of 4 I Hand tighten the sub-assembly and to the entry and add half a turn to with a spanner / wrench. Tighten the backnut to form a seal around the cable, then tighten a further half to full turn using a spanner / wrench. Ensure that the middle nut does not rotate when tightening the backnut . Locate the shroud over the cable gland if applicable. The following instructions are the approved methods of passing drain wires etc. through the compound barrier and should be followed if permitted by cable installation specifications. UNINSULATED EARTH OR DRAIN WIRE PREPARATION 1. 0 INSULATING EARTH OR DRAIN WIRES WITH HEAT SHRINK OR COLD SHRINK TUBING 1. 1 Remove foils and tape level with the inner sheath, exposing the uninsulated earth or drain wires and insulated conductors. 1. 2 Pass 100mm length of heat shrink or cold shrink tubing over the uninsulated earth or drain wire until it comes into contact with the foils, then shrink the tubing evenly down onto the uninsulated earth or drain wire so that no air pockets occur. 1. 3 To insulate the joint between the foils and the tubing a suitable piece of 10mm long shrink tubing or neoprene stretch tubing or a 10mm wide lap of PVC tape may be used. 1. 4 After completing 1. 1 to 1. 4 on each earth or drain wire, lay the armour parallel to the cable, if applicable, then carry out instruction B. INDIVIDUAL SHIELDING OR SCREEN PREPARATION 2. 0 INSULATING SCREENS WITH HEAT SHRINK OR COLD SHRINK TUBING 2. 1 Unravel one or two groups of wires from the individual shielding or screen wires, then remove the remainder of the individual shielding or screen wires (See Fig. 2. 2 Pass 100mm length of heat shrink or cold shrink tubing over the individual shielding or screen until it comes into contact with the foils, then shrink the tubing evenly down onto the individual shielding or screen so that no air pockets occur. 2. 3 To insulate the joint between the individual shielding or screen wires and the tubing, place one lap of PVC insulating tape over the exposed metallic joint. 2. 4 After completing 2. 1 to 2. 5 on each individual shielding or screen, lay the armour parallel to the cable. Then carry out instruction B. Inner Sheath Shielding Screen Wires One or two groups of shielding screen wires Fig. Temperature 90 80 70 60 50 40 30 20 10 0 4 8 12 Time (Hours) 16 Shore Hardness The compound may be adversely affected by some solvent vapours. If such vapours are likely to be present in the vicinity of the cable gland in service, suitable precautions may be necessary. [. . . ] Note: Grounding must be carried out in accordance with National Electrical Code Article 250 and 505. 25. A correctly sized grounding conductor must be connected from the tag to the nearest internal connection point of the grounding circuit. When the gland is used with enclosures having plain (strikethrough/drilled) entry holes, the gland must be secured to the enclosure using the locknut provided. AI 316 - Issue M / Page 4 of 4 ACCESSORIES: Before cable gland assembly or stripping of the cable gland assembly, consideration should be given to any cable gland accessories that may be required, such as: Shroud, to offer additional corrosion protection.
