8.3. To Make 1.57 mm [.062 in.] Bends on RG-405 Cable

It is recommended that a special kit be used to make

1.57 mm [.062 in.] bends on RG-405 cable. Kit

220224-2 includes a limiting pin, a 90° bend tool body

assembly, a 90° bend segment, and a conforming

block. The figures referenced for the 6.35 mm

[.250 in.] and 3.18 mm [.125 in.] bends will assist in

making the 1.57 mm [.062 in.] bends. These steps are

recommended:

1. Make the 3.18 mm [.125 in.] radial bend as

described in Paragraph 8.1, and remove the plug

from the tool holder.

2. Replace the 3.18 mm [.125 in.] bend segment

with the special 1.57 mm [.062 in.] bend segment,

which is a part of Kit 220224-2.

3. Re-attach the plug to the dummy jack of the tool

holder.

4. Place the special 1.57 mm [.062 in.] conforming

block over the cable with the tongue of the block in

the tool holder slot. The conforming block is part of

Kit 220224-2.

5. Insert the limiting pin and slide the block against

the tool holder.

6. Place the assembly in a vise with a 69.85 mm

[2.75 in.] opening.

7. Remove the assembly from the vise, and

unscrew the plug from the fixture.

8. Remove the assembly from the vise, and
