Position boot shrink in place. Position boot tightly into crotch area. Begin shrinking at center of boot body, work torch with a smooth brushing motion around all sides of the boot. 1886 Breakout Boot 3. Complete shrinking. Continue to the boot body and boot fingers as the cap shrinks and conforms to the cable contour. Separate individual conductors and apply heat between them to provide a smooth crotch. 1887 Properly installed boot will be smooth and conform to cables or other substrate. Adhesive will be visible at ends. Installation is complete. 1888 PII-54733, Rev AB 2 1994 Raychem Corporation DCR C26724, PCN 275283-000 Printed USA 11/94 Effective Date: November 1994
