COMPRESSION LUG
Fully insert conductor into compression Lug.
Copper Conductor:
Aluminum Conductor: Wire brush conductor and immediately fully insert conductor into compression lug.
Measure the "Check Dimension" before crimping. This
dimension should be less than 6---3/8". Otherwise redo
assembly. Crimp the compression lug following the
crimping instructions supplied with the lug. Wipe all excess
inhibitor from compression lug and cable adapter surface
after crimping. The distance from the end of the
compression lug to the cable adapter after crimping should
be between 6---3/8" to 7---1/8" (162mm---181mm).
Otherwise redo assembly.
