Step 10 -Slide the parts up the BOF cable beyond the mark and, if not already done, remove the outer jacket up to the mark using the cable stripper. Cut off the cable kevlar strength members and waterblocking materials, if present, using kevlar shears.
NOTE: If cable strength member capture is planned, leave approximately 100 mm (4 in) of the kevlar strength members protruding from the cable jacket.
If the required length of any of the BOF tubes is shorter than the exposed tube length, trim the tubes to the appropriate length.
NOTE: Make sure that the individual BOF tubes are not punctured, crushed, or kinked while trimming back the cable elements and the BOF tubes that will not be routed into the equipment.
Step 11 -Clean the BOF cable jacket and BOF tubes using a wipe dampened with alcohol. Blow dry with air.
Step 12 -End seal the BOF tubes that will not be routed into the equipment using Method 2J1-1 of this standard practice.
NOTE: This step may be performed after cable insertion into the stuffing tube if there is a problem inserting the BOF cable through the stuffing tube with the BOF tubes end sealed.
Step 13 -Insert the BOF cable through the stuffing tube and into the enclosure so that the outer jacket will protrude completely through the rubber bushing. Slide the washers and bushing down the cable into the stuffing tube. (NOTE: When necessary to pass an airtight test, apply RTV silicone rubber to the bushing.)
Step 14 -Slide the cap down the BOF cable, screw it onto the stuffing tube and tighten it sufficiently using the spanner wrench to compress the bushing to form a tight seal between the BOF cable and the stuffing tube. (NOTE: Hold the stuffing tube body when tightening the cap to prevent breaking the watertight seal.) After the bushing has been compressed for approximately 24 hours, retighten it to ensure the seal is maintained.
Step 15 -If required, wind the exposed kevlar strength member under a screw lug attached beside the stuffing tube and tighten the screw lug.
NOTE: This step is only performed when additional strain relief is required beyond that provided by the stuffing tube assembly.
Step 16 -If the BOF tubes will not be immediately formed and shaped within the equipment, close the equipment cover to keep dirt and moisture out of the BOF tubes.
