Rain Bird
2-Wire
Stripper
It is recommended to use the Rain
Bird 2-Wire Stripper tool to remove
the outer MAXI Cable jacket without
damaging the inner insulation.
NOTE: To avoid damaging the wiring, tools such as util-
ity, pocket, carpet, box cutter knives or Romex strip-
pers should not be used to strip wires.
NOTICE
Rain Bird requires the use of 14 gauge AWG MAXI Cable
(double-jacketed, 2-Wire conductor).
Always place 2-Wire Devices and connections inside a valve
box. Assure that the wiring copper conductors are not
exposed after installation.
Carefully score approximately 6 in (15,24 cm) of the
AWG MAXI Cable’s outer jacket . Gently flex the cable
to expose the portion to be removed and to reveal the
2 inner wires. Then trim away the excess of the outer
jacket.
NOTE: It may be necessary to remove the outer jacket
in two or more sections.
Strip away approximately 5/8 in (1,58 cm) of insulation
from the ends of the two inner wires.

Remove the pre-cut insulation from the ends of the
wires on the 2-Wire device. Connect the device wires
to the 2-Wire path using linesman’s pliers to twist the
ends together.
NOTICE
Wire colors must be paired red to red and black to black
in order to maintain polarity when completing wire splices.
