APPLICATIONS

TMC-K Series Cold Shrink™ Corrosion Protection Kits are designed to provide a quick and easy method for protecting TMC and TMCX Series Terminator® Cable Fittings from the corrosive influences of wet and salt-fog installation environments.
A TMC-K Cold Shrink™ Corrosion Protection Assembly is an open-ended tubular rubber sleeve ,…,hich is factory expanded and assembled onto a removable core. The core is removed after the assembly has been positioned for installation over a Terminator® Cable Fitting.
TMC-K Cold Shrink™ Assemblies are made from EPDM rubber material that contains no chlorides or sulfurs. They conform to the moisture seal requirements of ANSI Standard C119.1.
TMC-K Series Corrosion Protection Kits are assigned according to the following table:

METHODS:
Mastic material, provided in each TMC-K Kit, is meant to fill and seal the NPT thread area of each Terminator® Cable Fitting prior to Cold Shrink™ Assembly installation. The mastic is provided in two forms:

• TMC-K1 through TMC-K6 . . . Mastic Strips
• TMC-K7 through TMC-K10 . . Mastic Roll

TMC-K1, TMC-K2 & TMC-K3:

• Two Cold Shrink™ Assemblies are provided in these kits.
• The smaller of these (less than three inches long) serves as an adapter to increase the diameter range of the protective outer sleeve assembly.

INSTALLATION

1. Position Cold Shrink™ Assembly (Figure 2) over cable jacket. Direct loose core pull tab onto cable first as shown.
   NOTE (TMC-K1, TMC-K2 & TMC-K3 Kits):
   Position smaller Cold Shrink™ Assembly over the cable last as shown ® (Figure 2).

2. Install TMC or TMCX Terminator® Cable Fitting according to instructions provided. See typical example @ (Figure 2).

3. Use mastic seal strips {or roll) from kit to fill gap over NPT threads of fitting © (Figure 3).
   Remove white release liners before wrapping. Build mastic level to flats of fitting hex nut. Mastic material may be folded to ease wrapping.

4. TMC-K1, TMC-K2, TMC-K3 Only: Position Cold
   Shrink™ Adapter Assembly as shown ® (Figure 4).
   Install by unwinding loose core pull tab in a counter-clockwise direction around cable.

5. Position Cold Shrink™ Corrosion Protection Assembly ® (Figure 5) over Terminator® Cable Fitting. Install by unwinding loose core pull tab in a counter-clockwise direction around cable. Rubber corrosion protection sleeve should make contact with enclosure wall during installation.
