*NOTE: In Canada replace each occurrence of 277 with 347 and 480 with 600.

Temperature Caution: Cable pulling and Tap installation should not be

attempted in temperatures below 32°F / 0°C.

Two installers are recommended!

— one to see that Cable is kept flat in

615CLWA Pull-In Guide and one to pull at far end of run.

For short runs: A length of Cable may be cut from reel and loosely recoiled

to prevent twisting during pull-in.

For longer runs: Cable may be unreeled as it is pulled in.

Tools Required:

• Utility knife

• Hand-held hacksaw or hacksaw blade

• Wiremold PVC Cutter or commercially available anvil blade cutter

NOTE: Tabletop or flat cutting surface recommended for easiest cable preparation.

1d Install

Coupling.

2b Attach CLWEC

Endcap/Puller to Cable.

2d Attach

615CLWA Pull-In

Guide to Strut.

Prepare end of Cable as described in Step 2a. Attach prepared end of Cable to Endcap/Puller per

Step 2b. Pull Cable into Strut the remainder of the way insuring that both Endcap/Pullers are inside

of the Strut. Remove Pull-In rope from Endcap/Puller.

2f Continue pulling Cable into Strut.

IMPORTANT: Engagement of Endcap/Puller and Cable in Strut should be monitored during pull-in. Cable must be kept flat and pre-

vented from twisting between coil or reel and Pull-In Guide. Two installers are recommended.

Pull Cable until the Endcap/Puller is approximately one foot from exiting the end of the Strut run. Remove Pull-In Guide from end of

Strut and cut Cable leaving approx. one foot extending from Strut end.

Endcap/Puller.

1. Using the Wiremold PVC Cutter or an

anvil blade cutter, prepare end of cable

with clean, perpendicular cut.

2. Using utility knife, cut

away side flanges 8-12".

(This allows cable to fit

inside CLWEC.)

3. Using hacksaw blade, slit

" -

between each conductor on score

marks. (This allows cable to be posi-

tioned between insulation barriers in

CLWEC.)

2c Attach

Pull-In Rope to

Endcap/Puller.

NOTE: 1/4" diameter Polypro

Rope with 1200 lb. tensile

strength and 210 lb. working

load is recommended.

2. Closed loop knot.

1. Thread pull-in rope through
