7" Locking Terminator Tool (TT-7)

Ships direct from the manufacturer. Please allow up to 10 business days, though it often ships sooner.

A spring-ear locking terminator that's been on a tap through a few winters doesn't want to come off, and a short tool gives the hand nothing to pull against. The Jonard Tools TT-7 is the 7 in terminator tool for those ports: a chrome vanadium steel shaft on an ergonomic 1-1/4 in handle shaped for grip and leverage, so a stiff terminator turns without the tool twisting in the hand, with a tip shaped to keep foreign debris out. It fits the same long list of spring-ear locking terminators as the shorter TT-4, including Gilbert Engineering GTP (Morlock), PRC, LFT, PCT, TPG, TR 75 GTL (Viewsonics), and Signal Vision SV-LT and SV-LTA, and it opens NO-3 and NO-4 Pedlock pedestal locks. It's backed by Jonard's lifetime warranty. For the ports between trap shields where seven inches won't fit, the TT-4 is the 4-1/2 in version.

Features

• Ergonomic handle. 1-1/4 in diameter, shaped for enhanced grip and superior leverage on a stiff terminator.
• Spring-ear locking terminators. Gilbert Engineering GTP (Morlock), PRC (Production Products Company), LFT, PCT (International Technology), TPG, TR 75 GTL (Viewsonics), and SV-LT and SV-LTA (Signal Vision).
• Pedlock pedestal locks. NO-3-Pedlock and NO-4-Pedlock.
• Debris-resistant tip. Designed to keep foreign debris out of the tool.
• Chrome vanadium steel shaft. For durability over years of taps.
• Lifetime warranty.

Where It Fits

It suits CATV and broadband technicians doing connects and disconnects at taps secured with spring-ear locking terminators, especially on aerial plant where the terminators have weathered in and need leverage to turn, audit and theft-of-service crews terminating unauthorized ports by the dozen, MDU technicians working lock boxes and enclosures, contractors on a plant that mixes Gilbert, PCT, PPC, and Signal Vision terminators and want one tool for the spring-ear ones, anyone who meets a Pedlock pedestal on the same route, and a truck that carries the TT-4 for the tight ports and this one for the stubborn ones. For Corning Gilbert cam-style terminators (the NS-5762 series), the TTCG-6270-5 and TTCG-6270-9 are the matching tools.

Good to Know

Locking terminators are access control for the operator's plant, and the tool is for technicians authorized to open and secure those ports; carry it on the strength of the work order. Match the terminator type before you reach for the tool: spring-ear terminators from the makers listed are what this tool fits, and a cam-style terminator such as the Corning Gilbert NS-5762 takes a different tool, so a terminator that won't engage is the wrong type rather than a dull tip. Seat the tip squarely on the terminator, push until it engages the ears, and turn; the handle gives real leverage, which means a terminator that still won't move is seized or wrong, and forcing it is how an ear breaks off inside the port. Keep the tool in line with the port as you turn, since an angled tip on a longer tool cams off the terminator and marks it. Put the terminator back on every port you open and don't leave terminated, since an open tap port is both a leak and an invitation. The tip is shaped to keep debris out, but a tap in the weather still collects grit; knock the tool out before it goes back in the pouch, and a wipe of oil on the shaft keeps the chrome vanadium from pitting. Tap ports on a powered plant can be live; check before working at the tap.
