(2) Option 2: Wire splice method.
(a)
If terminal lug barrel is used for splicing, select barrel diameter large enough to accept both wires
(1, figure 7-6).
(b)
Cut off terminal flush with pre-insulation (2, figure 7-6).
(c)
Cut insulating sleeve one inch longer than the barrel (3, figure 7-6).
(d)
Strip end of broken wires (4, figure 7-6).
(e)
Install insulating sleeve or shrink tubing, if available, over one end of broken wire (5, figure 7-6).
(f)
Insert wires into the prepared splice barrel and crimp to secure the wires (6, figure 7-6). Use
crimp tool matching the size of the barrel.
(g)
Slide sleeve or tubing over the splice or use tape to insulate the conductor and apply heat to
shrink material. Ends of non-shrink sleeve must be tied (7, figure 7-6).
