INSTALLATION PROCEDURES
- Locate bus connection (HPT and FP only) and cable as shown. Cut end of cable at angle to aid in piercing grommet. Leave additional cable for expansion loop. See page 5 for multiple cable installation tips.
- For HPT and FP cable, exchange grommet in Terminator with GRW-G provided in PETK-3.
- Insert cable into expediter. If mounted on bottom or side of pipe, punch out weep hole.
- Slide expediter toward pipe and route cable through support base entry.
- Insert banding guide into expediter and snap into place.
- Mount expediter to pipe using pipe band. Do not band over cable.
