Tools and Materials Needed
- 103 Tag Line Stainless Steel Hook Assembly for Laser Marked Cable (#113763), includes:
- Hook
- 3" x 1/2" Heat Shrink
- 2" x 1/4" Heat Shrink
- 2 x 1/8" Crimps
- Hot Air Gun
- Vice or Crimping Tool
Instructions
- Locate the "Strip Here" mark, or if not visible, make a mark at 6.7" (17 cm) from the end of the cable.
- Slide the 1/2" and 1/4" heat shrink pieces over the end of the cable and out of the way.
- Slide the two crimps over the cable end.
- Loop the cable through the eye in the hook and bring the cable end back onto itself.
- Insert the end of the cable through the first crimp and align the end of the cable with the "Strip Here" or 6.7" (17 cm) mark.
- Push the first crimp close to the hook, while keeping the end of the cable aligned with the "Strip Here" or 6.7" (17 cm) mark.
- Use a vice or crimping tool to secure the first crimp in place. Flattening of the cable should be visible when adequate pressure has been applied.
- Slide the second crimp onto the cable end and position it so there is 1" (25 mm) between the two crimps.
- Use a vice or crimping tool to secure the second crimp in place. Flattening of the cable should be visible when adequate pressure has been applied.
- Slide the 1/4" heat shrink down the cable and over the end of the cable up to the shoulder of the second crimp. Use a hot air gun to shrink the heat shrink over the cables.
- Position the 1/2" heat shrink over the crimps and 1/4" heat shrink, such that it overlaps the looped cable by about 1/4" (6 mm). Shrink in place using the hot air gun.
