Cut the .125” x 2.5” (.3 x 6cm) piece of shrink sleeve
in half. Slide the sleeves over each bus wire,
leaving .5"(1cm) of bus wire exposed. Apply heat to
shrink the sleeves.Slide a .5” x 1.5” (1 x 4cm) shrink
sleeve over the two bus wires so that .75” (2cm)
covers the cable body and .75” (2cm) covers the bus
wires. Apply heat to shrink the sleeve. While the
sleeve is still hot, use needle-nose pliers to squeeze
the sleeve between the bus wires. To ensure a
watertight seal, hold the pliers in place until the sleeve
cools.
Using a pipe strap (not supplied), fasten the standoff
bracket to the pipe.
Insert the connector body through the bracket, then
attach the junction box (not supplied) to the connector
