5.3.2 Wire Rope to Wire Rope Splice
Step A Extend 12" to 18" [300 mm to 450 mm] of each wire rope end for the splice.
Step B Unravel each of the 12" to 18" ends into a 3-strand and a 4-strand section (approximately 50% in
each), keeping the adjacent strands together.
Step C Starting approximately ¼" to ½" [6 mm to 12 mm] from the start of the wire rope's split, intertwine
a section from each of the two ropes.
Step D Line up the two remaining sections and intertwine them together in a similar manner. In order to
minimize the size of the splice, make sure the starting points for each intertwining operation line
up with each other.
Step E Starting at approximately 1" [25 mm] from the beginning of the splice, wrap electrical tape around
the splice until the entire splice, plus 1" on each end, is covered. Normally only one wrap is
needed. Make sure both ends of the tape wrap are tapered and smooth in case the pull direction
must be reversed.
