1. Introduction

The On-Q/Legrand Universal Compression Tool (P/N 364710-01) was designed to terminate Quad Shield RG6 or

Mini Coax cable with a variety of plugs, including BNC, RCA and “F” types. It is a ratchet style linear compression tool

that terminates the plug onto the cable with one complete ratchet cycle (start with tool open – squeeze handles

together until they close and open again).

2. Description

The On-Q Universal Compression Tool has a removable universal head cap that screws onto the ram in one of two

positions. For all plugs other than “F” style, the larger flat disk end of the universal head cap should be facing toward

the inside of the tool (see Figure 1). For “F” style plugs, the smaller barrel end of the universal head cap should be

facing toward the inside of the tool (see Figure 2). To remove the universal head cap, hold the outer end of the ram

and unscrew the universal head cap from the ram in a counter clockwise direction (viewed from the inside end of the

ram). To install the universal head cap, hold the outer end of the ram, and screw the universal head cap onto the ram

in a clockwise direction (viewed from the inside end of the ram).

Note: When installing the universal head cap in the “F” style position (see Figure 2), insure the ram lock nut

is positioned all the way toward the outer end of the ram. This will allow the universal head cap to be fully

installed onto the ram.

There is a scale (0-10) embossed on the top of the tool (see Figure 3) which is used to position the universal head

cap for correct operation with a variety of manufacturer’s plug styles. Regardless of which position the universal head

cap is in, always use the inside face of the larger flat disk end as the point for determining in which position (0-10) the

tool is adjusted. To adjust the tool, hold the ram at the outer end and unlock the lock nut by turning it counter

clockwise (viewed from the outside end of the ram) toward the outer end of the ram. Then turn the ram until the inside

face of the universal head cap lines up with the proper line on the scale. Then hold the ram while turning the lock nut

clockwise (viewed from the outside end of the ram) until it locks the ram in place at the chosen setting.

Note: When the universal head cap is fully seated in the “F” style position (see Figure 2), only positions 6-10

are available for adjustment using the embossed scale. In the position for all other plug styles (see Figure 1

or 3), the full range (0-10) of positions are available for adjustment using the embossed scale.
