General This document outlines the minimum installation requirements for installing a 600V tape splice. Details on how to install the cable are provided in the installation instructions IM-120-0. Electrical Circuit Integrity Systems consist of components and materials that are intended for installation as protection for specific electrical wiring systems, with respect to the disruption of electrical circuit integrity upon exterior fire exposure. The specifications for the protective system and its assembly are important details in the development of the ratings.

These protective systems are evaluated by the fire exposure and water hose stream test as described in UL 2196 / ULC S139. Ratings apply only to the entire protective system assembly. Individual components and materials are designated for use in a specific system(s) for which corresponding ratings have been developed and are not intended to be interchanged between systems. Ratings are not assigned to individual system components or materials.

Authorities having jurisdiction should be consulted in all cases as to the specific requirements covering the installation and use of these Classified systems. Cables and supports should be routed and supported separately from non-fire-resistive circuits. They should be positioned where any hazard of non-fire-resistive systems collapsing or failure will not disturb the system. These requirements must be followed to maintain the hourly rating in the fire area. The VITALink® Straight Tape Splice system must be installed by qualified personnel familiar with generally accepted construction techniques and safe electrical practices. Take all appropriate precautions when installing splices, including following OSHA and other applicable regulations. Only stainless steel enclosures and stainless steel connectors may be used. To ensure this kit is installed correctly, read and follow all the safety warnings and instructions contained in this document. The installation must comply with all national and local electrical codes and all the requirements of the UL Electrical Circuit Integrity System certification requirements, and carefully follow the installation instructions. Ensure the cable is in good condition prior to commencing splice installation. Do not pull cables around corners that have sharp edges, such as corners in cable trays, or other obstructions. See RSCC VITALink® MC/RC90 General Installation and Handling Manual for more information.

Cable Support Distance Cable shall be supported within one foot of a splice box. Details on how to

install the cable are provided in the IM-120-0 installation instructions.

Support Methods Drywall is not an acceptable means of support.

Box is mounted on 7/8” or larger 12 gauge steel strut. Painted or galvanized

strut is acceptable.

Strut longer than 20” shall be a minimum of 1-1/2” 12 gauge steel.

Secure strut to concrete wall using a minimum 1/4 inch diameter steel

concrete screws by a minimum 2-1/4 inch in length.

Alternatively, Secure strut to concrete wall using a minimum 1/4 inch

diameter steel masonry anchor by a minimum 1-3/4 inch in length. The

deeper the penetration, the more secure the strut is mounted to the wall.

Please account for spalling.

Strut shall be secured to structure at a minimum on each end, and one in the

center for spans 5 feet or greater. Strut shall, at a minimum, be

supported/secured to a 2 hour structure no greater than three feet for

lengths greater than 5 ft.

Connector Sizing To identify which connector fits on the Vitalink MC/RC90 cable See Table 2. Note Table 2 is for cables without segmented grounds. If the cable has segmented grounds, please contact RSCC for connector sizing.




Hole Punches for Boxes Boxes can come with holes for connectors pre-punched. If punching holes for connectors in the field, mark areas of the box with the following in mind: 1. 316 stainless is recommended for single conductors, as these are non-

ferrous. 2. 100% of connector and gasket shall make contact with box. 3. The Connector shall be positioned to allow the box to fully open and close.

The connector outer diameter should not interfere. 4. The connector shall not interfere with the box cover clamps. 5. Connectors shall be spaces at least 1 inch apart from each other 6. Strength of Box Sidewall. Once the location of the connector has been identified mark the center point where the hold will be punched by subtracting half of the connector OD from the identified boundary. For example, a two inch OD connector will have the center point 1 inch inward from the connector OD. Connector outer diameters and hole punch sizes are provided in Table 2. Note, cutting slots for single conductors is not recommended for fire-resistive boxes. Do not use brass plates because these will melt. 316 stainless is recommended for single conductors, as these are non-ferrous. After punching holes, clean any oil and/or debris from the box. Be careful of sharp edges when handling.

Box Mounting Boxes are provided in 304 or 316 stainless steel.

Four mounting holes for the box are 5/16” in diameter. Boxes can be mounted

in any orientation. Reference box manufacturer for mounting hole distances.

Box is mounted on steel strut sized appropriately per the box mounting hole

distance as provided by the box manufacturer.

Secure box to strut using a steel strut nut, and 1/4 inch diameter steel bolt.

Contact RSCC for more detailed information on boxes.

Grounding RSCC’s Firewall® LSZH (NFPA 130 and NFPA 502 complaint) grounding/bonding wire may be used inside the box. Do not introduce any materials into splice box that are not described within this installation guide or approved by RSCC. The cable armor may be used as an equipment ground. For grounding equivalents, see the VITALink® MC/RC90 General Installation and Handling Manual.

Connector Attachment to Cable The MC Connector must be American Connector WT series stainless steel. For detailed instructions on preparation of cable, including removal of armor, see the VITALink® MC/RC90 Installation Manual. Watertight seal is maintained for both non-jacketed and jacketed cables.

Connector

1. Check to ensure you have all connector components. This can be done

visually without disassembling connector. Some connectors are provided

with an additional earthing tag (not shown).

2. Using a pipe cutter, remove enough armor so the conductors can be

easily spliced inside the enclosure. To avoid damaging the insulation on

the conductors it is advisable to leave the white inner jacket until you

insert the cable into the enclosure. Single conductor cables do not have

the white jacket. Please protect those appropriately.

3. If the cable has an outer jacket over the copper armor, then strip the

outer jacket to the length specified in the connector instructions.

Another method would be to count the number of threads on the inside

of the connector, and remove the jacket the same number of

corrugations on the cable as there are number of threads.

4. Inspect the edge of the armor for any burrs or sharp edges. Flatten or

remove as necessary with needle nose pliers. Be careful not to have scrap

pieces fall into cable.

Connector Body

Compression Ring

Connector Nut

Gasket

Locknut




5. Loosen the Connector Nut, but do not remove it.

6. Slide the Connector over the cable until the threads inside of the

Connector Body make contact with the copper armor.

7. Gripping only the Connector Body, screw connector onto copper armor

and continue until hand tight.

8. Finish tightening the Connector Body onto the armor using channel locks

gripped to the Connector Body. The connector is tightened when the

copper armor reaches the end of the threading on the male end of the

Connector Body. The connector will not be able to be screwed on further.

Do not force. Once the connector is tight, further tightening will only

cause the armor to twist and break. The connector should not be loose

on the cable after tightened. A loose connector is not sized properly.

9. Tighten the Connector Nut using two channel locks. One channel lock is

needed on the connector body to prevent unscrewing it while the

Connector Nut is being tightened, and one channel lock is gripped on the

Connector Nut to tighten it.

Secure Cable and Grounds

10. Boxes come with pre-cut knockouts. Additional knockouts can be

prepared in field using a punch set. Prepare box knockouts and file sharp

edges as needed. Clean up any metal shavings or oil.

11. Install stainless steel breather drain if needed.

12. Ensure rubber gasket is on connector and insert cables into enclosure

taking care not to nick or cut the cable core.

13. Attach and secure the MC connector to the steel box using provided

locknut. Once firm even contact is made between the locknut and box,

an additional quarter turn is required.

14. Mount the earth tag, orient the ground/bond screw towards the bottom

of the box, then secure second locknut to the MC connector similar to

Step 13. For larger wires a copper lug may be attached to earth tag.

15. Attach bare ground/bond wire or RSCC Firewall® LSZH green ground to

the earth tag and any other grounding/bonding locations to attach the

connector, cable, and box to ground. Train the ground/bond wire(s)

toward the bottom of the box, toward the back of the box, and away

from non-grounded conductors as shown in the illustration.




Remove Inner Jacket

16. Taking care not to nick or cut the black insulation, carefully remove the

white inner jacket leaving a minimum of 1/2 inch where the cable exits

the threaded part of the MC connector. One method to accomplish this

is to cut through the end of the inner jacket 1/2 inch inward and use your

hands to peel the jacket back. This is preferred over scoring the jacket

lengthwise down the cable because it eliminates the risk of cutting the

insulation accidentally. Damage to the insulation will require a new piece

of cable.

Splice Layout and Crimp Prepare splices so that they are staggered in the box. Respect the bend radius

limitations as you prepare the splice (4X insulated conductor diameter).

It’s best to train the conductors first to get an approximation of where the

splices will be located and the lengths required for each conductor. Splices will

be trained a minimum of 1/2 inch from the sides and bottom of the box.

17. Cut the ends of the cable square and carefully remove the black

insulation to expose the amount of conductor specified by the

manufacturer of the copper two-way splice connector. The insulation

should butt against the crimp connector. The conductor should extend

halfway through the connector.

18. Connect the conductors together using the appropriate copper two-way

splice connector (sized based on conductor cmil) and crimping tool.

Verify crimp is not loose. See Table 1 for sizing. Flatten sharp edges.

Two-Way Splice

Connector




Silicone Tape The first tape to apply is the VITALink® self-fusing silicone rubber tape

provided in the VITALink® Tape Splice kit (Tape A). A fiberglass tape will be

applied on the overall splice (Tape B).

Several silicone tape wraps shall be applied with tension, and one final layer

shall be applied without tension. See Table 1 for number of wraps. The

number of wraps shall be chosen based on the largest conductor size being

spliced.

Take care to keep tape clean. Dirty tape shall be discarded. It is critical that

the silicone tape stays clean.

It’s best to cut 8 inch to 12 inch pieces of silicone tape to work with as it is

easier to handle than a roll.

Tape Under Tension 19. Start the tape 1.5 inches back from the end of the insulation and tape

over the conductor insulation. Pull tape with moderate tension (50% to

100% elongation) and begin to wrap helically towards crimp. Stretching

the tape is critical to cure the material. Each wrap of tape shall overlap

onto itself half way (50% overlap).

20. Continue over the conductor and the crimped connection. Be sure to

cover the tip of the crimp by folding the tape over the end. This is one

pass. The next pass would follow the same process in reverse. There is

not a need to cut the silicone tape after each pass.

21. Continue this process. The number of required passes across the crimp,

as described in the previous steps, to achieve the fire rating is shown in

Table 1. One pass is defined as one pass across the crimp. For example

starting 1.5 inches from the left side of the crimp and continuing over the

crimp at 50% overlap is one pass. Returning to the starting position would

be the second pass, so on and so forth.

Final Silicone Layer After applying the specified number of tape wraps under tension, a final

layer of silicone tape is required without tension as described below.

22. After silicone tape has been wrapped according to Table 1, apply a final

layer of the self-fusing silicone rubber tape with zero stretch or tension.

Press down to avoid the tape ends from lifting before fusing takes place.




Glass Protective Tape The final tape to be applied is a white glass fabric tape provided in the

VITALink® Tape Splice kit.

23. Start taping 1/2 inch prior to the start of the silicone tape and apply one

layer over the silicone tape. Each wrap of tape should have 50% overlap

covering over the previous wrap half way. Cover all surfaces of the

silicone tape.

24. Be careful not to cut silicone insulation or silicone tape when cutting the

glass tape

25. Additional layers are not required after silicone tape is covered.

26. Use hand and apply pressure around crimp to ensure tape is adhering

well.

Train Cables

27. It is important to train the cables neatly away from each other in the

enclosure as shown. Avoid contacting the sides of the enclosure.

Maintain at least a 1/2 inch spacing between the splices and the inside

of the enclosure sides, top, and bottom.

Grounding/Bond wires should be neatly trained towards the bottom

and back of the box away from straight tape splices.

Clean Up, Final Inspection, Close Box 28. Remove any loose debris from inside the box.

29. Inspect box cover gasket for any damage and ensure it is clean.

30. Secure the gasketed box cover to the box using the clips and tighten screws (not shown).
