Using connectors and cables for other than their original intended
purpose is an invitation for a potentially fatal disaster in the
future.
Don't depend on haphazard grounding for HV power return, run a
separate dark cable for the HV return in addition to having a common
shack grounding system.
Use bright red HV cables and purpose built HV connectors. Millen HV
connectors have been used in Amateur radio applications for a long
time.

Subject: [ham-amplifiers] Need advice on HV connectors
HI all,
Thanks for reading the mail. I have acquired a home brew amp
and power supply that is missing its HV cable. I'd like to change
both
of them to one style since they are both different. Jack Schutt K9GT
originally built this. I'd thought about using SO-239/PL-259's that
are
Teflon with RG-8 inner conductor cable as the HV wire and packing
the PL-259's with RTV-108 and sleeving the wire with GOOD Belden
heavy shrink tube with sealant. Does that sound like it would hold
5 KV since that's what Jack built the power supply too? Thanks
for the input and reading the mail.
