INSTRUCTION SHEET FOR PLUG/CONNECTOR WITH CONDUIT ADAPTER.
30 & 50 & 60 AMP DuraGard® Devices (Conduit Adapter Kit)
(For use with metallic conduit only)
WARNING
Risk of electrical shock.
De-energize all power prior to installation or repair.
APPLICATION
Thermoplastic DuraGard® plugs, receptacles and connectors are ideal for washdown duty, harsh environments and wet locations. They can be found in a broad range of industrial uses: from chemical and food processing to data processing, mining and in marine applications-both shipboard and dockside.
Pin and sleeve contact design allows DuraGard
®
devices to be tailored to specic industrial applications and special purpose work in accordance with the National Electrical Code and local codes. The devices are rated and polarized for specic voltages and amperages to prevent dangerous mismating of devices of different ratings.
PREPARATION
1) Recommended Tools:
Torque Wrench Screw Drivers
Ohmmeter Wire Strippers
Allen Wrench 3/16" Dia. Drive Pin (opt.)
CAUTION
Use only copper or copper clad aluminum wire with
box mounted outlet or inlet. Use of other wire may
result in the connector failing in service.
CATALOG NUMBER SYSTEM
For devices supplied with conduit adapter add sufx to catalog number as follows:
/C50 = 1/2" NPT /C75 = 3/4" NPT /C10 = 1" NPT
For "Field Modication Kit" order by Catalog Number as follows:
9 X 5 C10
Conduit Adapter C50=1/2", C75=3/4", C10=1"
Amperage size 3 = 30 Amp, 5 = 50 Amp, 6 = 60 Amp
X = Accessory
9 = Dura-Gard™ Series type device
2) Select cable size from table according to ampere rating of device.
Ampere Rating 30 50 60
Cable Size Awg. 8 6
Cord Type S, SJ S, SJ SC, SCE, SCT, PPE, G, G-GC, W
3) Establish a wiring pattern so the same colored wire is put in the same terminal on all plugs, receptacles and connectors in the system. DuraGard
®
devices are polarized so the plug will enter the receptacle or connector only one way.
4) Interior markings for wiring as follows:
2p 3w 3p 4w
X/L1,Y/L2,G/ X/L1,Y/L2,Z/L3,G/
WARNING
voltages, frequencies or type of current (AC or DC)
must not have interchangeable attachment plugs
per NEC Section 406.3 (F)

5) Turn power OFF.
6) Disassemble device removing gland nut #8, seal #6, conduit adapter #7, liner #5 and interior #2. NOTE: Interior for connectors is separated from housing by inserting a small screw driver or drive pin in current sleeve from the front and tapping lightly.
7) Place conduit adapter #7 into gland nut #8 and thread on to liquid tight conduit connector #9 (not supplied). Conduit adapter #7 is to be torqued tightly (50 IN/LB MIN) to conduit connector #9 using channel lock pliers.
8) Slide seal #6 and liner #5 over supply wires #10 (not supplied) and spaded conductor #10A (supplied). Allow 1-1/4 - 1-1/2 inch of wire to extend beyond edge of liner and strip wire 1/2 inch (30 & 50 AMP) or 3/4 inch (60 AMP). Loosen pressure screws #2A, insert stripped end of each conductor (including spaded conductor #10A with ground wire #10 nested on top) in contacts #2B in accordance with wiring pattern established in Preparation Step #3. Tighten pressure screws 2A to 20 IN/LB (30 & 50 AMP) or 25 IN/LB (60 AMP) of torque.
CAUTION
Green equipment ground conductor shall always be
used with spaded conductor. Do not use spaded
conductors as ground conductor.
9) Reassemble interior #2 in housing #1 by lining up 2 tabs in housing with 2 notches on interior. Push entire assembly into housing #1 being sure that top edge of liner #5 is ush with top edge of housing #1.
10)
Thread gland nut #8 on to housing #1 being sure that only the gland nut #8 turns. This is important in that if the other components turn while tightening, the wires can be become twisted. Tighten gland nut #8 to (40-80 IN/LB). Tighten thread locking screw 8A to (2 IN/LB).

ELECTRICAL TESTING
Do not connect to power until the following electrical tests have been performed.
1) Make Continuity checks of wiring with Ohmmeter to verify correct phasing and grounding connections.
2) Check insulation resistance to be sure system does not have any short circuits or unwanted grounds.
Connect all devices in the system, turn the power on and test the system.
MAINTENANCE
Inspection of electrical equipment used in industrial and heavy use situations must be conducted regularly to ensure proper function and safety. Check for the following items during inspection:
1) Unsecured contact wire terminals
2) Cracked or broken housings
3) An unfastened or loose ground conductor
4) Deteriorated or misplaced gaskets
5) Loose or missing screws
