Filoforms mechanical ferrule for straight through joints is designed as an alternative to the ortodox sweated ferrule in applications up to 11KV, and offers certain advantages over the tradtional connector.

Fitting is relatively simple and specilised tools are not required. The connectors can be used with confidence where the sweating method of jointing is either unfeasible or uneconomic. Another important advantage is the suitability of the mechanicle ferrule for jointing situations where the use of naked flames or other heating menthods are prohibited, e.g mining or petrol-chemicle loactions.
The compelted connection on each connector has a smooth profile and assists in the formation of a compact joint.

Fitting Instructions

Cut the cores to length, strip the insulation from each core equal to the length of a pressure pad plus 6mm and thoroughly abrade the exposed conductors.
losen the screws, and fit the connector over one of the cores, where possible sliding the full length of the barrel back over the insulation.
Align the cores and the connector back over both conductors until centrally located. Insert the pressure pads and tighten the screws consecutivley, one turn at a time until the heads are sheared from all four screws.

* Copper conductors must be wrapped in brass gauze to improve the electrical stability of the connection.
