The hand banding tool (600-058) orpneumatic banding tool (600-067) is usedfor this banding process.Next, wrap the shield support ringassembly with high temperature tape.Place lacing cord, high temperature tape,or high temperature plastic Ty-Strapson the braid transition to the rear of thebackshell to secure the overbraid on wirebundle. If you wish, you can cover theoverbraid with 102-080 braid sock.Tighten the adapter to the connectorusing established torque values withGlenair 600-091 or 600-157 compositehex coupling wrench and related toolingaccessories. Where applicable, securestrain relief saddles onto the wire bundleusing TG69 soft jaw pliers. Torque saddlescrews to established values. Teflon tapewrap or AS85049/127 bushing strips maybe used as needed to cushion the braidsock under the saddle clamps.With these few steps, your ShieldSock installation is complete!© 2009 Glenair, Inc.
