The SealTite connectors slip right off after I install them, obviously I'm doing something wrong The tool required adjustments to perform the two strips, one for the outer jacket, and the other down to the center conductor. The adjustments consisted of trial and error turns of a hex screw to finely adjust the cutter knives. Next, I laboriously folded back the outer shield, slit the outer foil, removed it from reading on this forum I understand this is the correct operation to perform , then folded back the inner braid.

I was not sure if the innermost foil should be slit and removed or slit and folded back. I slit and removed it. Next, I placed the connector in the compression tool, adjusted to the proper compression length per the included instructions with the tool.

I inserted the cable and performed the compression. The connector compresses but the O-ring does not clamp tight enough on the outer jacket to prevent the cable from pulling out of the connector. What did I do wrong? Since the O-ring doesn't seal tight enough on the cable, I'm thinking maybe more bulk is needed compared to just the bare cable jacket and the two folded back braided shields. I also tried applying more compression than recommended, but this did not make any difference.

I'm assuming the cable jacket diameter is a standard size and would not be the cause of this problem I measureed the O. The SealTite connector has an opening of 0. As you can tell, I'm a newbie on this. I have read the forums but have not encountered anyone having this problem. Thanks for your advice! More info on this problem. Given that the jacket size of the cable seemed to be incompatible with the SealTite connector, I tried two experiments: 1 Folding back all four shields, instead of cutting off the foils.

This increased the diameter of the jacket as it is pushed into the SealTite connector. Result: tighter, but still easily pulled off connector. This slightly increased the diamter of the jacket. Result: connector is tight. I conclude that the SealTite connector only works within an extremely tight tolerance for the RG jacket diameter.
