Installation Instructions
*THESE DIES ARE RECOMMENDED FOR ALL HIGH VOLTAGE (UP TO 15KV) APPLICATIONS. THEY ARE DESIGNED TO YIELD A
SMOOTH ROUND CONNECTOR WHEN CRIMPED ACCORDING TO THESE RECOMMENDATIONS ON THIS SHEET. THEY ARE
DISTINGUISHED FROM THE EQUIVALENT HEX DIES BY THE SUFFIX “R”
.
NOTES:
CONNECTOR DEFORMATION, Figure 1
A small amount of curvature of a connector is common.
Check for the following prior to installation: die alignment, tool jaw alignment, and properly trained conductor.
Failure to do so, may result in severe curvature.
CONDUCTOR (BASKETING) OR (BIRDCAGING), Figure 2
In the event of basketing/birdcaging, tightly secure a hose clamp or cable tie to the bare conductor next to the
connector prior to crimping.
