MIL-DTL-24231/11E(SH)
8. Wires shall be secured in groups with tape beyond the end of the sleeving, according to the receptacle, and
marked with position and pin numbers. Shielded cable shall also be marked with position and pin numbers at the
exposed end.
9. Unless otherwise specified in the contract or order, the length of wires or cables extending from the end of
the fitting shall be a minimum of 13 feet. Wires and cables shall be protected after installation by a method
approved by the contracting activity.
10. The gland nut shall be tightened until the packing tightens against the wires and cables. This can be
determined by moving the wires and cables gently back and forth until the wire and cable is seized by the packing.
The gland nut shall be turned approximately one-fourth of a turn more to hold wires and cables in place. Do not
overtighten the gland nut or attempt to tighten down metal to metal, as this can damage the wires and cables.
11. Full or partial threads shall not extend more than 0.083 inch beyond the ¾-inch thread length.
12. All receptacles shall be positioned with the polarizing slot in the "DOWN" (6 o clock) position ±2 degrees.
13. Revision C of MIL-DTL-24231/11 modified the body, M24231/11-010, for assembly with nut
M24231/11-031. Existing nut, M24231/10-042 (MIL-DTL-24231/10), is retained for use as a replacement part for
existing bodies, in service, manufactured to prior revisions.
14. Hull fitting body-to-cover weld may be accomplished using either of the following welding electrodes or
rods in accordance with MIL-E-21562:
a.
MIL-EN-60 or MIL-RN-60.
b.
MIL-EN-64 or MIL-RN-64.
15. Where wire and LS2SWU-1 cable combinations differ from the table on figure 8, retainer plate, packing
and retainer plate assembly shall be the same as M24231/10-081, M24231/10-082, and M24231/10-080 respectively
except the number and arrangement of holes shall meet the following requirements:
a.
Positional tolerancing for all holes shall be
.
b. Holes shall not be located closer than 0.010 from the minimum gland nut inside diameter of part number
M24231/10-044 and the retainer plate position pin holes of part number M24231/10-080.
c.
Minimum material between holes shall be 0.031.
d. Protective sleeving shall be sized to suit the number of wires required where use of the specified sleeving,
item 4, is inadequate.
16. The outside diameter is intended to coincide with commonly available 5¼-inch bar stock. The dimension
may vary after machine cleanup.
17. All dimensions are in inches.
18. Tolerances shall be as follows, or as stated:
Decimals ±0.005 inch.
a.
Fractions ±1/64 inch.
b.
Angular dimensions ±½ degree.
c.
d. Tolerances for rubber packing should follow the guidance provided in table XLI (RMA Drawing
Designation A2 Precision) of MIL-HDBK-149.
