back shield on the shield termination ring.
NOTE: For alternative shield sleeve materials, refer to Subject 20-00-11.
(9) Make a selection of a Temperature Grade D heat shrinkable sleeve from Table 51
Make sure that the heat shrinkable sleeve has the smallest diameter that can go on the
completed splice assembly.
(10) Cut the necessary length of the shield sleeve material.
Make sure that the ends of the shield sleeve material extend a minimum of one inch farther than
