Hi all,
I did my first sta-lok fitting yesterday and wasn't 100% sure I did it right. After I tightened it, I loosened it to inspect the form of the wire before I put in the dab of life-caulk. It appears that when I tightened it, the wire twisted a bit and a strand or so is over the slot. I don't believe any strands are IN the slot, just partially over it. Please see the photo I took:
For those with experience installing mechanical fittings, is this acceptable or do I need to redo this fitting?
As always I appreciate the advice/guidance!
