Installation Instructions.

The 252LRJS is designed to terminate UD jacketed and non--jacketed cable having concentric neutral wires or copper tape

deadbreak bushing or accessory device. Designed with a fold down extension on the cable entrance for sealing to the jacket of

jacketed cable. When other types of UD cable are to be terminated, an appropriate Elastimold cable shield or grounding device

must be used.

or removal of part(s).
