Model 103 Tag Line Splice Instructions

Tools & Materials Needed 1. Model 103 Cable Splice Kit (#107771) See photo at right. Wire Strippers Pliers or Vise Grips Hot Air Gun

Instructions

1. Slide the large piece of heat shrink onto one of the cables and position it roughly 12" up the cable. Also slide the narrow piece of heat shrink onto the cable and position it next to the large heat shrink.

2. Strip 1" of polyethylene jacket from the ends of the tag line that will be spliced.

3. Slide a crimp onto one of the stripped cables and position it up against the jacket shoulder. Slide the other crimp onto the same cable and position it flush with the end of the cable. Place the assembly on a flat surface.

4. Hold the cable and crimp assembly in position on the flat surface and carefully slide the second cable into position opposite the first. (See Diagram).

5. Crimp one of the crimps using a T-188 tool, (a pair of vise grips or bench vise can be used if required).

6. Ensure alignment of the second crimp and repeat step 5.

7. Centre the narrow heat shrink over the splice and shrink it to size using a hot air gun. Repeat the process with the larger heat shrink. Finish the process by pinching the heat shrink between your forefinger and thumb to ensure bonding.
