 Cold Shrink QT-lll Silicone Rubber Three Core Inverted Skirted Termination 

with High-K Stress Relief

6.6  Install Tubular 3M

 Cold Shrink QT-III Silicone Rubber Termination assemblies.

a.  Remove the inner red shipping core from the termination assembly by pulling and unwinding the loose red 

core end.

b. Position the termination assembly with the loose white core ribbon directed toward the terminal lug.
c.  Align the base of the termination (not the plastic core) with the installation marker tape as shown (Figure 23).
d. Grasp the loose white core ribbon. Pull the core while unwinding, counterclockwise, starting with the loose 

end (Figure 23). 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: After the silicone rubber termination makes adequate contact (approximately 1.0" (25 mm)), release the 

 

assembly and continue unwinding the core. 

DO NOT PULL OR PUSH ON THE TERMINATION ASSEMBLY WHILE 

UNWINDING THE CORE.

e.  Remove the installation marker tape.

6.7  Install Cold Shrink skirted insulators.

a.  Position skirted insulator over previously installed tubular termination as shown (Figure 24).
b.  Align skirted insulator body (not the core) to install Dimension [M] from base of tubular termination (Figure 24).
c.  Grasp the loose white core ribbon (Figure 24). Pull the core while unwinding, counterclockwise, starting 

with the loose end (Figure 24). 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: After skirted insulator makes adequate contact (approximately 1.0" (25 mm)), release the assembly and continue 

unwinding the core. 

DO NOT PULL OR PUSH ON THE ASSEMBLY WHILE UNWINDING.
