Installing the Stretch Tap in a Pedestal
78-4002497-01 Rev F 25
Tools Needed
#2 blunt-nose Phillips-head screwdriver
3/8-in. or 1/2-in. wrench or nut driver
3/16-in. hex head driver or 3/16-in. straight-blade screwdriver
1 Using a 3/16-in. hex head driver or 3/16-in. straight-blade screwdriver, loosen
the seizure screw securing the pass-through cable at port A as shown in the
diagram below.
2 Using a #2 blunt-nose Phillips-head screwdriver, remove the six screws securing
the pass-through cable and printed wiring board (PWB) to the tap housing as
shown in the diagram above. Note that one screw is longer than the others
because it also secures the seizure block to the tap housing.
3 Pull the pass-through cable out of the seizure block, and then lift the entire cable
assembly with PWB attached out of the housing.
4 Using a 1/2-in. or 3/8-in. wrench, move the port end plug from location A to
location B as shown in the diagram above. Tighten the port end plug from 50 in-
lb to 60 in-lb (5.6 N-m to 6.8 N-m).
