Crimp and Seal Splice Chart

Figure 33:

1. Use the J 38125-A Splice Crimp Tool (Figure 32) to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the hand crimp tool.
^ Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop.
^ The sleeve has a stop (3) in the middle of the barrel (2) to prevent the wire (1) from going further (Figure 33).

2. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper nest.

3. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve until it hits the barrel stop and close the handles of the crimp tool tightly until the crimper handles open when released (Figure 32).
^ The crimper handles will not open until the proper amount of pressure is applied to the splice sleeve.

4. Repeat Step 4 and Step 5 for the opposite end of the splice.

5. Using the heat torch apply heat where the barrel is crimped.

6. Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing.
^ The tubing will shrink completely as the heat is moved along the insulation.
^ A small amount of sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.
