Repeat the previous assembly procedures for each
additional splice tap. (Refer to Figure 32.)

After the last connecting plug and T-body are installed,
obtain the second insulating plug. If stud has not
been factory installed, hand thread a 5/8" stud into the
insulating plug.
•
Install the second insulating plug, with stud, into the
open interface of the last T-body. Hand thread the
insulating plug into the connecting plug.
•
Secure the first insulating plug using a 1" wrench. Using
a 1" socket on a torque wrench, tighten the second
insulating plug to 55 ft-lbs. (Refer to Figure 33.)

Clean and lubricate the inner surface of two insulating
plug caps with the lubricant supplied.
•
Push the caps onto the insulating plugs until they snap
