It is important that a properly sized grommet has been selected to obtain a good environmental seal. Failure to
provide proper environmental sealing can permit moisture or other conductive material to enter the connector
resulting in possible electrical failure.
Please use the table on Page 2 to confirm that the grommet ordered fits your cable properly. If not, please
contact us for an immediate grommet replacement.

*The cable diameter code is used to define the grommet size in the connector’s catalog part number. For
example, connector GD-B1516-51SL-18 comes with a size “18” grommet, to be used with a cable diameter
range of 1.00 – 1.125 inches.

Step 1 ASSEMBLY OF ADAPTER COMPONENTS
1. Select one end of the cable for termination. Select cable end with conductor pattern best suited
to contact pattern of connector.
2. Pass the cable thru the parts as shown.
3. It is important that a properly sized grommet has been selected to obtain a good environmental
seal. The cable should be free of grooves or ridges where the cable grommet seats on the cable.
Step 2 CABLE JACKET & WIRE STRIPPING
Strip cable jacket as shown. Select dimension “A” from Table A to correspond with connector rating and score
insulation. To help prevent stranded wire from fraying, do not remove insulation slug until ready to execute
Step 3.

Step 3 TERMINATING CONDUCTORS
Remove the insert assembly from the receptacle shell. Do not disassemble the contacts from
the rear rigid insulation and the grey center insulation. Insert all stripped leads into assigned contact
termination wells. Close pressure pad assembly on stripped leads per Table 3.

insert assembly must seat fully to shoulder within the shell so that the interior shell threads can be
engaged by the insert clamp nut.
Step 6
CLOSING CABLE HOUSING
Thread cable housing onto back of receptacle shell until tight and gasket creates seal. Back off cable
housing until four set screw holes line up. Tighten set screws.

CABLE ASSEMBLIES
Factory Assembly of Connectors and Cable
If your connector(s) arrived pre-assembled to cable and/or other third-party
components, consider the following:
1. Follow the instructions and recommended maintenance practices for
the attachment plug and/or receptacle.
2. Review the useage instructions on the connector nameplate.
3. For IECEx and ATEX applications, in potentially explosive atmospheres,
the unterminated end of an integrally mounted cable shall be terminated
in a suitable enclosure, e.g. in type of protection flameproof
enclosures "Ex d" or increased safety "Ex e".

Notes
1. Periodically and when conditions require, lubricate coupling threads with silicone oil (part number VT-
9400-21D), furnished with connector.
2. Periodically inspect receptacle to insure that all thread engagements are secure and that the grommet
continues to provide an environmental seal.
3. Periodically inspect receptacle for excessive wear. Consult Vantage with any questions regarding
repair or replacement.
Note: Electrical installation shall be in compliance with the National Electric Code
(NEC), EN/IEC60079-14, and/or any other presiding local or national electrical codes.
