Copper Keeper Installation Instructions

“Keep Your Copper Working For You”

The Copper Keeper is composed of three basic components:

Rubber stopper
Compression bolt
Compression wedge

 

Installation steps:

1) Determine wire sizes to be installed into the stopper

2) Add or remove sleeves and plugs to accommodate the wire sizes. ( Fig. 1)

3) Insert wires into appropriate stopper pockets. (Fig.2)

4) Insert stopper with wires in place into the conduit. The stopper should slide on the wires as the Copper Keeper is inserted into the conduit.

5) Insert all except the last inch of the unit into the conduit opening. (Fig 3)

6) While holding the un-inserted portion of the rubber stopper extending outside the conduit – begin to tighten the compression bolt.

7) As the compression bolt is tightened, the stopper diameter will increase. Continue until the rubber has expanded to just snuggly slide into the conduit.

8) Now, push the Copper Keeper into the conduit. The wire should still slide in the pocket or sleeve. If the fit is too tight, loosen the compression bolt until it will allow fitting into the conduit.

9) To properly insert the copper Keeper in place, push it approximately 1/4” past the opening of the conduit. (Fig 4)

10) While holding the wires to help stabilize the Keeper, continue to tighten the compression bolt to the recommended torque for the size Copper Keeper being used. (Fig 4)

11) The Copper Keeper is now properly fitted into the conduit.
