01 Construction preparation
(1) The production of cable intermediate joints should be carried out by trained personnel familiar with the process (who must hold a certificate).
(2) The construction personnel are familiar with the drawings and installation process, and master the production and installation dimensions and process requirements.
(3) Confirm that the cable phase is correct.
(4) Keep the environment clean, avoid contaminating the insulation surface, and prevent dust and debris from falling on the insulation surface. If necessary, a joint shed should be built.
(5) Strictly control the relative humidity of the joint area environment, generally requiring 70% or less; If the relative humidity exceeds 70%, dehumidification treatment should be carried out before production; If specified in the installation manual, follow the instructions.
(6) Identify the location of the power source and connect the temporary power source.
(7) The construction site should have sufficient lighting and fire-fighting equipment.
(8) Prepare the tools and equipment. Tools that may come into contact with cable conductors and insulation during construction, such as cutting tools for stripping semi conductive shields, calipers, steel rulers, clamps, and molds, should be cleaned and kept dry.
(9) Check the heating and straightening equipment, and promptly handle any abnormalities.
(10) Consumable materials are complete.
(11) Cleaning agents are generally anhydrous alcohol and acetone. If there are special requirements for the drawing process, follow the drawing process requirements.
(12) According to the packing list of the attached product, check whether the components are complete, and inspect for any damage or other defects. Conduct a key inspection of the attached components: the outer packaging seal should be intact, the inner and outer surfaces of the stress cone should be smooth, and the inner diameter of the stress cone should meet the size requirements of the cable insulation outer diameter; The inner diameter of the connecting tube should match the outer diameter of the cable core; The metal shell of the intermediate joint has no cracks or other defects.
(13) Check whether the cable head is tight, the sealing material should not be damp or ineffective, and there should be no moisture inside the cable. Generally, the method of observing the internal resistance of the cable water strip is used. Test the outer sheath of the cable before production.
(14) Check the special tools according to the installation process instructions.
(15) The accessories and cable models match, the quantity is complete, and the quality is good.

02 Heating and straightening of cables
(1) Place the cable in its final position, measure and mark the breakpoint location.
(2) Cut off excess cables from the marked area and ensure that the cut is level.
(3) Remove the semiconductor layer according to the dimensions on the drawing. Common methods for removing semiconductors include using a turning knife, using glass, and using a planer.
(4) According to the drawing requirements, use a specialized stripping knife to remove the insulation outside the cable core.
(5) Apply semiconductive paint and mold. Coating with semiconducting paint and molding are two commonly used methods for treating external semiconducting fracture surfaces.
03 Cable breakage, stripping of core insulation, insulation and shielding layer treatment
(1) Place the cable in its final position, measure and mark the breakpoint location.
(2) Cut off excess cables from the marked area and ensure that the cut is level.
(3) Remove the semiconductor layer according to the dimensions on the drawing. Common methods for removing semiconductors include using a turning knife, using glass, and using a planer.
(4) According to the drawing requirements, use a specialized stripping knife to remove the insulation outside the cable core.
(5) Apply semiconductive paint and mold. Coating with semiconducting paint and molding are two commonly used methods for treating external semiconducting fracture surfaces.

04 Installation of stress cone
The installation methods of stress cones for intermediate joints can be divided into four types: pull in, on-site expansion, cold shrinkage, and plug-in.
05 Conductor connection
There are generally three common methods for connecting conductors: crimping, screwing, and welding.
06 Insulation slotting and shielding cover installation
(1) According to the installation manual, use a special tool to groove the cable insulation.
(2) When slotting, pay attention to measuring the outer diameter of the slot at any time to ensure that it meets the requirements of the installation manual.
(3) Wrap the strip and measure its outer diameter, which should be smaller than the inner diameter of the shielding cover.
(4) Connect the shielding cover and copper braided tape securely.
(5) Install the shielding cover, with no gap between the two shielding covers, and fix them externally with PVC.

07 Stress cone wrapped tape
After fixing the stress cone, wrap the tape according to the installation instructions. The tape used generally includes insulation tape, semiconductive tape, copper mesh, lead tape, PVC, etc.
08 Copper shell assembly and external treatment
(1) When assembling the copper shell, apply silicone grease to the O-ring to ensure that the entire O-ring enters the sealing groove and remains clean. Tighten the screws diagonally according to the torque requirements in the installation manual, ensuring that both ends of the box are symmetrical and aesthetically pleasing.
(2) There are two main methods for grounding treatment: lead coating and welding ground wire.
(3) Sealing treatment.
(4) If required by the installation manual, pour waterproof glue, mix the two colloids evenly, pour them into the copper shell, and seal the pouring port.
(5) If the outer coating of the copper shell is made of PE material, fireproof measures such as coating with fireproof coating or wrapping with fireproof tape should be taken.
09 Assemble fire prevention facilities
Assemble fireproof groove boxes, fireproof partitions, and install fireproof bombs according to design requirements.
10 Sealing treatment, injection of insulating oil, installation of upper end fittings
(1) After the joint is completed, install the joint bracket horizontally and firmly.
(2) Hang road signs and color plates as required.
(3) Clean up the construction site.
