Thomas & Betts 600ECS – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the Thomas & Betts 600ECS elbow cable sealing kit be used outdoors or in a direct-buried pad-mount enclosure?
The 600ECS is rated for exterior environmental conditions, so it is intended for outdoor use on separable connector elbows in pad-mount gear, switch cabinets, and similar above-grade enclosures.
2) Does the 600ECS sealing kit work with 200 amp loadbreak elbow connectors?
The 600ECS kit is built to ANSI/IEEE Standard 386, latest revision, which is the standard governing separable insulated connector systems (loadbreak and deadbreak elbows). If the elbow on your cable is a 386-compliant separable connector, this sealing kit is the matching accessory family. Confirm the elbow interface class and cable range against the Thomas & Betts spec sheet before ordering.
3) What exactly does an elbow cable sealing kit do, and do I need one if the elbow is already installed?
It seals the interface between the elbow connector body and the cable jacket to keep moisture and contaminants out of the connection. On an elbow that is already in service without a seal, water tracking down the cable jacket into the connector interface is the common failure, which is why the seal is treated as part of the installation rather than an optional extra. The 600ECS is a cold shrink splice and termination type product, so it is applied without a torch or heat gun.
4) Is the 600ECS sold as a single kit or in a carton of multiples?
It is sold each, so one order unit is one 600ECS sealing kit. Order one per elbow you are sealing.
5) Does the Thomas & Betts 600ECS require heat or a torch to install?
No flame is needed. The 600ECS is a cold shrink product, which means it is stretched over the cable and elbow and shrinks down when the core is removed, making it usable in enclosures and vaults where open flame is not permitted.
6) What part number should I give my distributor for the Thomas & Betts elbow cable sealing kit?
Order it as Thomas & Betts 600ECS. That is the manufacturer part number for the elbow cable sealing kit.
7) Where can I get the cable range and dimensional data for the 600ECS before I spec it?
Thomas & Betts publishes a spec sheet for the 600ECS covering the kit details; it is available at https://media.distributordatasolutions.com/ThomasAndBetts/2018q3/3054fa4c7b447cc6799f279ae85d53af3e2598df.pdf. Check the cable diameter range there against the jacket OD of the cable you are sealing.
8) What color is the 600ECS elbow sealing kit and is it made in the USA?
Black, and it is manufactured in the United States. The black elastomer is the standard for outdoor medium voltage accessory use.
