Compounds C O M P O U N D S HiTemp AFL Filler Compound (AFCHT) is the recommended filler for compression fittings due to its ability to improve the mechanical holding strength and conductivity of the connection. It has been designed to withstand the increased temperatures of high temperature/low sag conductors (ACSS and ACCR). Kept in a dry place, AFCHT has an infinite shelf life. Application Filler Compound for compression accessories installed on conductors operating at temper- atures up to 250ºC (482ºF). Compression accessories include dead ends, joints, terminals and jumper connectors. Features Wide Temperature Tolerance AFCHT has a wide temperature range. It is workable at low temperatures and does not drip at high temperatures. It has a melting point above 250ºC (482ºF). Improves Holding Strength and Conductivity AFCHT contains hard metallic and non-metallic particles, otherwise known as 'grit'. During compression, the compound grit is embedded between the conductor and the accessory, creating an irregular surface. This irregular surface has two features: (1) increases the holding strength when tension is applied and (2) improves conductivity by forming a bare metal to metal connection. Moisture Resistant As the accessory is compressed, AFCHT is forced between the conductor strands, sealing out the harmful effects of water. Fits Standard Caulking Gun For easy filling of compression accessories, AFCHT is available in a tube that fits a standard caulking gun. HiTemp AFL Filler Compound (AFCHT™) AFL NO.
