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 specic industrial applications and special
purpose work in accordance with the National Electrical
Code and local codes.
The devices are rated and polarized for specic 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 sufx to
catalog number as follows:
/C50 = 1/2" NPT
/C75 = 3/4" NPT
/C10 = 1" NPT
For "Field Modication 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
Equipment connected to circuits having different
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
WARNING
