2.0 Prepare Cable
2.1 Check to be sure cable size, connector and drop wire fits within kit size range as shown in Table 1 (For Use With
Compression Lugs or Connectors), or Table 2 (For Use With 3M Mechanical Shearbolt Lugs QL2 Series: Two Hole).
2.2 Train cable into position and cut to length required for installation. Allow sufficient neutral wire length for grounding
connection.
2.3 Prepare cable using dimensions shown in Figure 1. BE SURE TO ALLOW FOR DEPTH OF TERMINAL LUG
OR CONNECTOR. If using 3M Shearbolt Lugs QL2 Series: Two Hole, or 3M Mechanical Shearbolt Connector
QCI Series, proceed to Step 2.4. If using a Crimp Type (Compression) lug, measure the depth of the barrel, or if using a
Crimp Type (Compression) connector, measure to the barrel center stop/midpoint, and see the NOTE below, in order to
calculate the Insulation Removal Length. Table 4 can used to assist in calculating the total Jacket Removal Length when
using a compression lug or connector.

6.7 Bend neutral wires back over applied sealing mastic and secure to cable 4 1/2" (114 mm), below cable semicon
edge using vinyl tape (see NOTE and Figure 10).
NOTE: Position vinyl tape with care, it also serves as a marker for positioning the termination.
6.8 Select second Scotch® Mastic Strip 2230 from kit and remove white release liners. Apply a second SINGLE WRAP
of mastic over the neutral wires and previously applied mastic (Figure 10). Cut off excess.
6.9 Compress neutral wires into Scotch® Mastic Strip 2230 by over-wrapping seal strips with two highly stretched layers
of electrical grade vinyl tape (Figure 10). Be sure to cover all exposed mastic.
NOTE: DO NOT completely cover the neutral wires with electrical grade vinyl tape when applying over the Scotch®
Mastic Strip 2230 per Step 6.9 LEAVE AT LEAST 1" (25 MM) OF EXPOSED NEUTRAL WIRES between the Vinyl
Tape Marker applied in step 6.7 and the start of the two half-lapped layers of electrical grade vinyl tape covering the
Scotch® Mastic Strip 2230 applied in Step 6.9.

7.0 Install Connector or Lug
Important Packaging Notice
In order to make sure that you receive an undamaged termination, this 3M Cold Shrink QT-III Silicone Rubber Termination
is packed with a RED SHIPPING CORE inside of the white core. Please remove the red shipping core BEFORE you install
the termination. This shipping core can be recycled with other polypropylene waste.
7.1 Check to insure 3M Cold Shrink QT-III Silicone Rubber Termination assembly fits over the selected connector
or lug BEFORE installing the connector or lug. If connector or lug (Figure 11) will not fit through the termination
core, clean the insulation (per Step 8.0) and slide termination on cable before installing connector or lug. DO NOT
REMOVE CORE AT THIS TIME.
7.2 For 3M Compression Connectors and 3M Compression Lugs:
a. Refer to pages 16 - 22 for 3M Connector and Lug crimping information
b. For Aluminum Conductors - Thoroughly wire brush conductor strands to remove aluminum oxide layer. Insert
conductor into lug or connector and then remove conductor. This will transfer some of the antioxidant paste onto the
conductor. Wire brush the antioxidant paste into the strands. Immediately insert conductor into lug or connector barrel
as far as it will go.
NOTE: Die/crimper head rotation between consecutive crimps is RECOMMENDED
c. Position connector or lug and crimp according to manufacturer's directions. Remove excess oxide inhibitor and
sharp crimp flashings following crimping.
7.3 For 3M Mechanical Shearbolt Lugs QL2 Series: Two Hole or 3M Mechanical Shearbolt Connector QCI Series:
a. Refer to the Instructions that are packed with the Shearbolt product for the installation procedures.
NOTE: FOR CONNECTORS, CRIMP ONLY POWER CABLE SIDE OF TRANSITION (REDUCER) CONNECTOR
AT THIS TIME.
Crimp only power cable side
of connector at this time.
Figure 11
8.0 Clean Cable Insulation and Connector/Lug Barrel Using Standard Practice
8.1 If abrasive must be used:
a. Use on insulation only. DO NOT USE ABRASIVE ON SEMI-CON INSULATION SHIELD!
b. Use only aluminum oxide abrasive; grit 120 or finer.
c. Be careful not to reduce the cable insulation diameter below that allowed by the kit.
8.2 Wipe the cable insulation, and lug or connector, with an approved solvent (such as 3M Cable Cleaning Solvent CC
Series) AND ALLOW IT TO DRY BEFORE INSTALLING TERMINATION. DO NOT ALLOW SOLVENT
TO TOUCH SEMI-CON INSULATION SHIELDt.
9.0 Install Termination
9.1 Slide the termination body onto the cable and remove core. Make sure the termination body (not the core) is
butted up to the edge of the vinyl tape marker previously applied (Figure 12). Pull the core while unwinding,
counterclockwise, starting with the loose end (Figure 12). Be sure to alternate the pulling and unwinding actions
(pull-unwind-pull-unwind-etc.) to help prevent the core material from binding up as the core is being removed
NOTE: Once the termination body makes contact over the mastic seal area, there is no need to continue supporting the
assembly. DO NOT PUSH OR PULL ON THE TERMINATION ASSEMBLY WHILE UNWINDING THE CORE.
