Steel City SC-1000 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What conductor sizes does the Steel City oval service cable cap cover?
Two conductor ranges are offered on the Steel City oval service entrance cable cap: 3 No. 8 through 3 No. 1 (model SC1000-1), and 3 No. 3-2 (model SC-1000). Match the cap to the SE cable you are terminating at the weatherhead, since the oval opening and insulator are sized to that conductor bundle.
2) I am running SE cable, not conduit. Is this the right cap?
Yes, the oval shape is the giveaway. Oval caps are made for flat service entrance cable; round entrance caps are the ones intended for rigid or EMT conduit risers. If your riser is conduit rather than SE cable, order a round conduit entrance cap instead.
3) Is the Steel City service cable cap UL listed?
It carries a UL listing under file E15170. That is the detail an inspector or an institutional electrical spec typically asks for on a service entrance fitting.
4) Does the Steel City oval cable cap come with the insulator, or do I buy that separately?
The insulator is included with the cap. Nothing else ships with it, so the mounting screws or straps you need for the wall and the SE cable itself are separate line items.
5) What is a service cable cap actually for on an overhead service drop?
It is the weatherhead at the top of a service entrance run. The oval body takes flat SE cable, the insulator separates and supports the conductors as they exit, and the downward-facing opening keeps rain out of the cable while the conductors drip-loop over to the utility drop. Steel City offers it for 3 No. 8 to 3 No. 1 and 3 No. 3-2 cable.
6) Am I ordering one cap or a box when I buy the Steel City SC1000 series?
They sell individually. The selling unit is each, so a quantity of one gets you one cap with its insulator, not a carton.
