main/feeder, utility or incoming lug pull sections,
as well as to individually mounted main/feeder,

other two bolts may have to be loosened. Rotate
each phase splice counterclockwise as shown in
Figure 14b, starting with the rear-most splice
working forward. With all splices for one phase
in position, as shown in Figure 15a, reinsert the
½"-13 Grade 5 bolt and washers on each phase
and torque all bolts according to Table 1 in Torque
