Step 3: Ground armored cable using (1) HDWR-GRND-KIT per cable.
Step 4: Install a sheath retention clamp.
Step 5: Secure the cable to the sheath retention bracket
with two cable ties. Make sure the tabs on the clamp
material are in the recessed section of the bracket.
7. STRENGTH MEMBER STRAIN-RELIEF
Step 1: Test central member for thickness.
4. Wrap the grounding connector and split
portion of the shealth with a few wraps of
vinyl tape.
3. Position the top plate and lock nut on the
outer sheath over the base plate. Tighten
with a 3/8 in (10 mm) wrench so that the
teeth on the upper plate are driven into
the sheath.
Tighten the assembly with a 3/8 in
(10 mm) wrench.
2. Position the grounding clamp base plate
under the armor. The stops of the clamp
should just touch the outside of the armor
and sheath. Tap the sheath above the ground
clamp base to set the teeth.
1. Cut a slit into oppsite sides of the outer
sheath and armor about 2 in (5 cm). To do
this, score the armor with a cable knofe (being
careful not to damage the inner sheath) and
split the sheath by flexing it.

1. Wrap a section of clamp material around
the cable to determine the length needed
for one full wrap.
2. Use side cutter to cut the clamp material
so that it ends up one section shorter than
this length.
3. Place the cut length of clamp material 1.25 in
(3.0 cm) from the end of the cable sheath.
4. Install a hose clamp over it, covering as
many holes as possible. Hand tighten with a
slotted screwdriver or a 5/8-in driver.
5. Wrap the sheath retention assembly with
vinyl tape. (Shown without vinyl tape for clarity)
Armored cable requires a ground clamp.
