• First check that there are no cracks or damage
to end plug. Slide end plug over bus wire
crimps all the way and push firmly toward mastic.
• Wrap one piece of mastic around open end of end plug so
half of width covers end of plug and half covers cables.
• Apply second piece of mastic like the first one to
completely cover end of plug. Press mastic pieces
together and into plug and wire mastic pieces.
• Slide in the 5 inch heat shrink tube and align it with the
flange of end plug, then start heating by a heat gun
from the end plug toward the cables.

• Apply heat with heat gun or torch for at least 5 minutes or until
tubing is completely shrunk. Start from end plug towards cables.
Ensure heat shrink is completely shrunk in each section,
especially around mastic.
• Preferably apply heat in well ventilated area or outdoors.
• Be careful not to burn or damage cable jacket, heat shrink tubing,
or end plug.
• The edge of the heat shrink tube may shrink and have a gap
with the ange of end plug which is acceptable.
CAUTION: To avoid burns allow heated sections to
cool before touching.
