Slide your cable into that and snug the nut and it is done and clean looking. Also from my experience, I would not angle the wires, I would make it strait through and strip as much of the jacket as possible. I am sure your drawing is not representing the actual amount to be stripped, but it should be more significant. Keeping it strait will make it a lot easier, I have done over 20 wires in one penetrator with a strait threaded bore. </span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1494848739894_4816"><span>Hank</span></div> <div class="qtdSeparateBR"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;"> <div dir="ltr"><font size="2" face="Arial"> On Sunday, May 14, 2017 9:40 PM, Alan James via Personal_Submersibles <<a href="mailto:personal_submersibles@psubs.org">personal_submersibles@psubs.org</a>> wrote:<br></font></div> <br><br> <div class="y_msg_container"><div id="yiv6886688803"><div><div style="color:#000;background-color:#fff;font-family:Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif;font-size:16px;"><div id="yiv6886688803yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1494815924300_2859"> Hi,</div><div id="yiv6886688803yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1494815924300_2858" dir="ltr">I have a number of penetrators to do on my lights & other items, & I'm</div><div id="yiv6886688803yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1494815924300_3154" dir="ltr">looking for the best materials for them.</div><div id="yiv6886688803yui_3_16_0_ym19_1_1494815924300_3076">My design is as below.
