Cut Sheet

HORIZONTAL X XBQ/XBZ
XBQ/XBZ MOLDS
The CADWELD XB molds are the
quickest, most efficient way to make
lapped, horizontal x-style connections
on solid or concentric stranded cable
for a variety of installations.
For cable-to-cable X-style connections
at power substations and other
commercial and industrial sites, there’s
never been a faster or easier way to
make a reliable CADWELD connection.
This two-piece mold lets you make
connections in a trench in about half
the time it would take with compression
connectors or other exothermic products
— and at a fraction of the cost.
• Ergonomic two-piece molds use
standard L160 and L159 handle
clamps...the same clamps you use
with other CADWELD molds.
• Saves labor costs. X-style connection
can be made by one person in about
1 minute. That’s 40 to 70% faster than
other methods.
• Costs less. Saves you 1/3 over
other models, thanks to innovative
design techniques and advanced
manufacturing technology.
• Simple to use. Operates just like an
XA-style mold, but there’s no need to
cut the cable!
• Easy cable alignment.
• Also available in “smokeless”
EXOLON.
NOTES
• Molds not available with wear plates.
• Special cleaning tool supplied
with each mold.
• All Q price molds require L160
handle clamp.

handle clamp.
