Hubbell Cold Shrink Termination Kit
15kV Class
DESCRIPTION
Hubbell Cold Shrink Terminations are
designed for terminating solid dielectric
– shielded medium voltage cables.
Removal of the inner support core allows
the termination to shrink evenly on the
cable, producing a tight void free interface
between the cable and termination housing.
Hubbell Cold Shrink Terminations meet the
requirements of IEEE Standard 48 – latest
revision.

personnel familiar with safety practices. This instruction is wirtten for such personnel and is not intended as a
substitute for adequate training and experience in safe precedures for this type of equipment.
• Hold the bottom of the housing in place, pull the tab and unwind the core in the direction shown on termination until
housing is completely shrunk.
Step 6. Application of Silicone Grease
A. After housing of the termination body is installed, apply light coat of grease to exposed bottom portion of boot and
mastic build up as shown below.
NOTE: DO NOT GREASE PULL DOWN TABS.
B. To extend the boot, firmly hold the boot tabs and pull completely down over mastic seal.
C. Twist neutrals into a braid and connect to ground with an appropriate ground connector.
CABLE PREPARATION
Step 1. Cable Preparation
A. Train Cable & Remove Jacket
• Straighten and train cable into final position. Allow sufficient neutral wire for grounding connection.
B. Cable Cutback Dimensions
• Prepare cable using cutback dimensions as shown below. Allow for depth of bore in compression connector,
plus an additional 1/4” to accommodate crimping growth of compression connector.
• Remove semiconductive layer to dimension shown below. Cut squarely making sure not to nick the insulation.
• Remove insulation to bare the conductor. Cut squarely making sure not to nick the conductor.
C. Placement of First Mastic Strip
• Using light tension, apply single wrap of mastic around cable jacket 1/4” (6mm) from jacket edge.
D. Placement of Additional Mastic and Vinyl Tape
• Carefully fold neutral wires back onto cable jacket, pressing wires into mastic.
• Make sure to not cross neutrals.
• Wrap second mastic directly over embedded neutral wires, providing moisture seal.
• Using moderate tension, cover mastic seal with two half-lapped layers of vinyl tape.
NOTE: If pad of lug is too wide, store housing further down the cable, and proceed to Step 2. Do not
remove the support core until after the lug is installed.

Step 2. Install Connector
A. Installation Procedure
• Use a wire brush to clean the exposed conductor. Immediately place the compression connector on the conductor
and rotate to spread the inhibitor. If using a 2-hole lug, be sure to orient it properly. Crimp the connector to the
conductor starting just below the knurled line, and rotate successive crimps to prevent bowing (refer to crimp chart).
Wipe off excess inhibitor.
Step 3. Clean Cable Insulation
A. Remove all traces of insulation shield from cable insulation.
B. Wipe cable insulation with approved solvent.
• Apply an approved solvent on clean rag.
• Wipe insulation clean, then remove any residue with another clean rag.
Step 4. Apply Silicone Grease
Step 5. Install Housing
• Pull loose end of removable core through top of termination until core is flush with termination housing.
• Slide housing of termination body over cable and align bottom edge of termination with top edge of metallic wire shield.
