Best practices for assembling your system
Greasing the Connector/Dummy Plug (ABOVE WATER - DRY MATE ONLY)
-
Connectors must be greased with Molykote 44 Medium (or equivalent) before every mating. Check the MSDS for your type of o-ring lubricant before use.
-
A layer of grease corresponding to minimum 1/10 of socket depth should be applied to the female connector
-
The inner edge of all sockets should be completely covered, and a thin transparent layer of grease left visible on the face of the connector
-
After greasing, fully mate the male and female connector in order to secure optimal distribution of grease on pins and in sockets
-
To confirm that grease has been sufficiently applied, de-mate and check for grease on every male pin then re-mate the connector
