The CAL Manufacturing Company offers a fine, complete repair service of cables or for outer cover replacement where this is the only work necessary.
Cables returned for repair can be accepted only when transportation charges are PRE-PAID. Returned cables will be partially dis-assembled for inspection. Cal Manufacturing performs an inspection report on all returned cables. The customer is then notified as to the repair or replacement charges and work to be done. If the customer decides not to continue with the work, the cable(s) will not be re-assembled or returned.
We do not repair Air-Cooled jumper cables or Laminated Shunts.
Repair service: Dual or single conductor, water-cooled cables.
If, after removal of the outer cover and thorough inspection, the cable is found to be repairable, the repairing process consists of the following as a minimum. (Unless recovering is all that is found necessary.)
1. Clean out the water passages to ensure adequate water flow.
2. Renew pipe threads, or install reducing bushings, if threads cannot be renewed.
3. Install new water seals (Dual Conductor only).
4. Replace insulation between terminals (Dual Conductor only).
5. Recondition terminal surface, or replace not more than one terminal where necessary.
6. Install outer covering, using new bands.
7. Test for water flow and leaks. Short test Dual Conductor Cables.
Rebuilding or Replacement:
If our inspection indicates returned cables are not suitable for repair, the rebuilding or replacement of the cable is priced as a new cable price, less 10% for usable parts and scrap salvage.
When terminal ends only are returned, an allowance of $8.00 minimum per set (Both ends) is given on Dual Conductor Cables, and a minimum of $6.00 per set for single conductor Water-Cooled Jumpers. These terminals must be returned PRE-PAID.
Reconditioned parts are used for rebuilding or replacement; however, all cables rebuilt or replaced by CAL always contain new conductor ropes, new inner separator and new outer coverings. Salvage credit cannot be given for cables or terminals shipped to us in excess of the number ordered.
