Specifications

3. Using a tube of 100% silicone grease (Dow DC-4 or
equivalent), squeeze approximately half the size of a
pea onto the end of your finger.
CAUTION:
Do not use WD-40 or other petroleum-based
lubricants, as they will damage the connectors.
4. Apply a light, even coating of grease to the molded
ridge around the base of the bulkhead connector.
The ridge looks like an o-ring molded into the
bulkhead connector base and fits into the groove of
the mating inline connector.
5. Mate the inline connector to the bulkhead,
being careful to align the pins with the sockets.
Do not twist the inline connector on the
bulkhead connector. Twisting can lead to bent
pins, which will soon break.
6. Push the connector all the way onto the
bulkhead. There may be an audible pop,
which is good. With some newer cables,
or in cold weather, there may not be an
initial audible pop.
7. After the cable is mated, run your fingers along the
inline connector toward the bulkhead, milking any
trapped air out of the connector. You should hear
the air being ejected.
CAUTION:
Failure to eject the trapped air will result in the
connector leaking.
