Claims
- 1. A method of installing an electrical signal filter between another device and a cable terminated with a {fraction (7/16)}″ cable connector, a housing of the electrical signal filter having a span which is substantially greater than {fraction (7/16)}″ and a threaded female connector portion formed integrally with one end of the housing, said method comprising the steps of:(a) providing a tool having an engaging span of {fraction (7/16)}″; (b) using said tool to engage a drive member, having a {fraction (7/16)}″ span, positioned proximate of the threaded female connector portion and formed integrally with the filter housing, said filter housing having a said span substantially greater than {fraction (7/16)}″; (c) rotating the filter housing by using said tool to secure the filter to another said device; (d) using said tool to engage the cable connector terminating the cable; and (e) rotating the cable connector by using said tool to secure the cable to the filter.
- 2. The method of claim 1, further comprising, between steps (c) and (d), the steps of:(i) providing a second tool having an engaging span {fraction (7/16)}″; (ii) using said second tool to engage said drive member; and (iii) holding said second tool to prevent substantial rotation or the filter during step (e).
- 3. The method of claim 1, wherein said drive member includes at least two flat sides in substantial parallel relation to one another.
- 4. The method of claim 1, wherein said drive member is hexagonal.
- 5. The method of claim 1, wherein the filter housing is cylindrical.
