Installation Methods for an Explosion-Proof Seal
In this YouTube video, Thomas Betts looks at installation methods for one type of explosion-proof cable fitting. An explosion-proof seal is necessary in electrical work for safety purposes.
Star Teck STX and STEX explosion-proof fitting components work with Teck cables, ACWU cables, and metal-corrugated cables.
These components already come with the necessary fittings preinstalled that otherwise would have to be attached and installed separately.
Liquid or putty can be used for sealing the cables with these cable conductors. Liquid-sealant is always recommended over putty and is always required for lines with more than four conductors.
Prepare the cable by stripping out one inch of the outer covering. Cut through the metallic center with a saw at a forty-five-degree angle. Remove the outer jacket and armor. Always make sure the cable remains completely clean. The red tags on the fittings will say which sealing compounds can be used for that fitting. No other sealing compounds other than what is listed can safely be used.
Push the cable into the fitting and tighten down the gland nut. Ensure the bushing is sticking out correctly and is flush with the appropriate points. Unscrew the fittings on the connector side so that the inner jacket can be removed one-quarter of an inch. Remove the rest of the jacket and separate the conductors. Take away ripcords and fillers. Apply the appropriate sealant by following the directions in the kit. There are only four-five minutes before it hardens. Reassemble the connector bolt.

Hair Transplants Explained
In this video, you will learn about a hair transplant. The video discusses the ins and outs of hair transplants. Hair can grow from almost every part of our body. Hairs grow out of hair follicles and they can be as densely packed as 100 follicles.
But for men in particular, hair follicles can stop growing. Some of us spend an entire year in our lifetime working on our hair. The soles of our feet, our lips, and our palms are the places that don’t grow hair. As part of our natural life cycle, the hair follicles stop producing hair. This can be caused by a lot of different reasons. Hair follicles simply stop producing hair. A hormone decides to come along and switch them off. The follicles around the hairline and the top of the hair just gradually stop producing hair. Once the old hairs fall out, they will not grow back. In the 1950s, doctors learned that you can remove hair follicles from one place and simply install them into a different area. Surgeons would remove small patches of skin, and insert them into the hairless areas in a pattern. Keep watching this video to learn more information.
