Step 23 -Untape the cable jacket strips from the multiple-tube BOF cable and abrade the cable jacket and the jacket strips circumferentially over the length that will be in contact with the shrink tube using emery cloth. Clean the multiple-tube BOF cable jacket and the jacket strips with a wipe dampened with alcohol and blow dry as necessary.
Step 24 -Fold the cable jacket strips over the taped area so as to encage the BOF tubes and tube couplers. Press the cable jacket strips into the underlying tape.
Step 25 -CAUTION: Do not overheat the BOF cable. Prolonged exposure of the jacket to temperatures above l60oC (320oF) may damage the BOF cable jacket. Discontinue heating of the sleeve and allow the BOF cable jacket to cool before reheating if the BOF cable jacket shows any signs of bubbling.
For heat shrink sleeves only: Slide the heat shrink sleeve up the multiple-tube BOF cable and position over the jacket strips so that
the sleeve overlaps the uncut multiple tube cable jacket approximately
76 mm (3.0 in) and covers the taped section of the single tube cables.
Holding the heat gun approximately l00 mm (4 in) away, heat evenly
from the center to the ends around the entire sleeve. Heat until the
sleeve has shrunk to a snug fit around the complete assembly and
melted sealant is visible at the ends of the sleeve (see figure lDl-
4).
For cold shrink sleeves only: Position the sleeve as described above, remove the sleeve center support and allow the sleeve to shrink into place .
