5.3 Cable Splices
Continuous pull rope and sensor cable are "pulled" into the secondary containment during certain stages
of installation. Several splices are used to provide secure attachments to pull ropes and cable during this
procedure. The following methods are recommended for splicing.
Note: When using tape to seal the splices, use only PVC electrical tape. PVC tape minimizes drag on the
cable and reduces snags.
5.3.1 Factory Installed Fiber Pull Rope to Continuous Pull Wire Rope Splice
Step A Extend 12" to 18" [300 mm to 450 mm] of fiber rope and 14" to 20" [350 mm to 500 mm] of wire
rope.
Step B Wrap a small amount of electrical tape around the fiber rope's end to prevent unraveling. Using a
small pointed object (such as a nail), slightly separate the fiber rope braid and weave the wire rope
into each opening of the braid as you go.
Step C Pull the wire rope tight, as it is woven into the braid.
Step D Using electrical tape, wrap the entire length of the splice area. The tape should extend
approximately 2" [50 mm] over each end of the splice.
