(a) Tightly wind the first layer of tape on the splice assembly.
NOTE: An alternative to the first layer of tape is two layers of Temperature Grade D
insulation film strip from Table 54.
Make sure that:
• The layer of tape or each layer of film strip starts 0.6 inch minimum farther than the
end of the splice
• The layer of tape or each layer of film strip stops 0.6 inch minimum farther than the
end of the splice at the other end of the splice assembly
• The layer of tape or each layer of film strip makes a 50 percent overlap
• The second layer of film strip is wound in the opposite direction of the first layer.
(b) Tightly wind the second layer of tape on the splice assembly in the opposite direction of the
first layer.
Make sure that the layer of tape:
• Starts 1 inch minimum farther than the end of the first layer of tape
• Stops 1 inch minimum farther than the end of the first layer of tape at the other end of
the splice assembly
• Makes a minimum 50 percent overlap.
(c) Tightly wind the third layer of tape on the splice assembly in the opposite direction of the
second layer.
Make sure that the layer of tape:
• Starts where the second layer of tape stops
• Stops where the second layer of tape starts
• Makes a 50 percent overlap.
(11) Assemble a lacing tape wire harness tie on each end of the splice assembly approximately 0.25
inch from the end of the tape. Refer to Subject 20-10-11.
Make sure that the Temperature Grade of the lacing tape is Temperature Grade D.
