Topband: Help installing compression connectors

[David Harmon]

Tony.....
I use the same connector but not flooded coax.
I use the QS coax from Lowes and after removing the outer braid and foil....the connector goes on nicely.
But.....your flooded cable o/d could be too large for that connector.
The Lowes RG-6QS o/d coax is .277.
See the Belden site for connector specs.

Subject: Topband: Help installing compression connectors

Anyone have any suggestions on how to install compression connectors on flooded RG6 quad shield coax with PE jacket?   I'm using Belden Snap-N-Seal RG6QS compression connectors but they're nearly impossible to slip on far enough.  I've tried removing the outer  braid and foil and still no luck.  Maybe I should be using different connectors?  The coax I'm using for the beverage is Commscope F6SSEF / 4561804. 

Thanks, 

Tony/K1AMF
