Subconn Handling Procedure

The following handling procedures should be adopted when using Subconn :

The connector should not be exposed to long term heat or sunshine. If this occurs, and the connectors are very dry, soak in fresh water before use.

Ensure the connectors are lubricated - the recommended lubricant is Molykote 44 Medium - but use sparringly. Half a match head dose per contact is adequate.

Any accumulation of sand or mud in the female contact should be removed with fresh water. Failure to do so could result in the splaying of the female contact and damage to the O-ring seals.

Do not overtighten the bulkhead nuts. Recommended torque is 50 lbf. ft.

Do not disconnect by pulling on the cable and avoid sharp bends at cable entry.

When using bulkhead connectors see that there are no angular loads as this destroys the connector.

When disconnecting, pull straight, not at an angle.

Ensure the above points are fulfilled to get the best out of you connectors. If in doubt, please contact us for advice.
