WARNING: Fire and Health Hazard. Soldering tools or minitorches can cause fire or
explosion in hazardous areas. Be sure there are no flammable materials or vapors in the
area before using these tools. Follow all site safety guidelines when working in
hazardous areas.
Refer to solder material safety data sheet packaged with kit.
Do not overheat or char the conductor insulation. Inhalation of fumes can cause polymer
fume fever, flu-like symptoms, irritation, and difficulty breathing.
Do not direct torch flame toward conductor insulation, cold lead insulation or enclosure.
Damage to insulation or enclosure can cause shorting or moisture ingress.
• Use only the solder provided with the kit. Only Kester 48 has been qualified for use with SC cables.
• Heat each splice using a soldering tool, or propane or MAPP gas torch. Note: MAPP gas may be
required if the connections are being soldered at temperatures below –4°F (–20°C). Heat the center
of the splice until it is hot enough to melt the solder placed at both ends. Allow the splices to cool
for several minutes before proceeding to the next step of wrapping the connection with tape.

IMPORTANT: To ensure proper electrical insulation, use the specified high temperature Teflon tape provided with the kit.
Do not use common vinyl tape which does not have adequate temperature rating.
