Installation Steps & Final Check
3Position the Cap
Loosen the four cap screws, but do not remove them. After the wires are routed through the conduit, place the cap over the casing and align it so it sits evenly.
4Tighten Around the Casing
Tighten the four cap screws evenly around the outside of the casing. Tighten securely, but do not overtighten. The screws clamp the cap around the casing.
5Secure the Conduit & Check the Install
Make sure the 3/4" conduit is properly seated in the cap opening and the wires are protected. Verify the cap is level, snug, and fully in place before restoring power.
