The transition compartment assembly    

attaches to the torque bar bracket on the bot-

tom of the end plates with the bolts provided. (Figure 
23)  Make sure the side of the torque bar labelled "3 
Section End" is nearest the Three-section End Plate. 
The torque bars are labelled for in-line as well as butt 
installation.

When all cables and/or plugs have been  

installed, tighten End Plate bolts by rotating 

2 or 3 turns on each bolt so the End Plates come 
together evenly. Tighten bolts with torque wrench to 
150 inch pounds. (Figure 21)

Apply vinyl tape to the remaining 1/4–1/2"  

(.64-1.27 cm) (Paragraph 7.03) of exposed 

LOCK-TAPE Sealant on the cable outside the End 
Plate.

8.00  UNITUBE PREPARATION

8.01

For unitube cable refer to Table 3 to  

determine the correct length of core tube 

necessary to enter the transition compartment when 
using the lower cable ports in the End Plate. Cables 
entering the upper ports will be transitioned into the 
compartment using a transition tube. Refer to Para-
graph 10.02 for core tube lengths. See Section 14.00 
for routing loose buffer tube cable into the storage 
compartment. When routing both unitube and buf-
fer tube in the same closure, follow instructions for 
unitube application.
