14.00 UNDERGROUND INSTALLATION
14.01
The Closure should be installed between
the manhole racks.
14.02
COYOTE Closures are very light and will
float in a water-filled manhole. They must be
tied down.
NOTE: It is recommended that the PREFORMED
Manhole Support, Catalog No. 8003527, be
used to support and tie down the Closure.
15.00 AERIAL INSTALLATION
15.01
For aerial applications, use the Adjustable
Aerial Hanger Bracket Kit (Catalog No.
8003426).
15.02
Be sure all nuts and washers are in their
proper position. Tighten nuts securely.
16.00 EXTERNAL BONDING
External bond methods will be described, but com-
pany practices should be followed.
16.01
If cable contains metallic components, all
cables must be bonded together. Remove
bolt from threaded inserts on outside of the End
Plate, install continuous length of bonding ribbon to
each threaded insert through bonding clips and
secure to End Plate with the removed bolts.
16.02
For manhole installations, extend a length of
bonding ribbon (not supplied) from one of the
threaded inserts bonding and grounding harness of
the manhole. Securely tighten all connections.
16.03
For direct buried installations, extend a
length of bonding ribbon (not supplied) from
one of the threaded inserts to a ground rod. Securely
tighten all connections.
16.04
For isolation of individual external grounding
connections, use the COYOTE EXTERNAL
ISOLATION TERMINAL KIT (Catalog No. 8003463 or
8003464). Refer to application procedure SP2891
for specific installation application.
17.00 MAINTENANCE PROCEDURE
17.01
The COYOTE Closure is designed for
numerous re-entries. However, certain
precautions must be taken prior to reapplication.
17.02
Be sure to clean shells and End Plates
thoroughly to remove sand, dirt, and other
foreign substances.
17.03
Any bent studs or stripped nuts should be
replaced. Only use hardware supplied by
Preformed Line Products.
17.04
The shells should be lubricated prior to re-
application. A uniform thin layer is all that is
necessary. Only use lubrication supplied by Pre-
formed Line Products (Catalog No. 80801566).
17.05
Any shells that are bent, cracked or distorted
should not be used.
17.06
Prior to reinstallation, the neoprene on the
shells should be allowed to return to its
original state. Warming the shells speeds up the
process.
