•Tools And Equipment Needed:

1.Long Nose Pliers
2.Electrician’s Knife or Cutter
3.Combination Pliers
4.Sicle Cutting Pliers
5.Needle-Nose Pliers
•Procedure:
•Rat tail joint
1.Strip the wire insulator at
the ends of the conductor
to the joined at about
50mm.Clean both wires to
be joined.
2. Place the two ends of
bare wire in crossed position.
3. Then twist the bare conductors about five to seven
times.

•Western Union Long-Tie

Joint
1.Strip the wire ends
about 75mm.
2. Place the wires in
crossed position about
mid-halfway from the
insulation.
3.Make four to six long
twists of wires.
4.Wrap each side of the wire for about four to five turns
as shown.
•Western Union Short-Tie
Joint
1.The Western Union
Splice is made by twisting
two ends of a wire
together counterclockwise 3
/4 of a turn each, finger
tight.
2. Then, using needle-nose
pliers, the ends are twisted
at least five more turns, tightly. The cut off ends are
pushed close to the center wire.

•Aerial Tap Joint

1. Strip the tap wire
end about 75mm
and the main wire
end about 25 mm.
2. Place the wires in
crossed position
intersecting about
5mm from the
insulation of the tap
wire and the main
wire.
3. Bend the tap wire
over the main
wire,making a long twist.
•Cross Joint
1.Remove 13
millimeters (0.50 inch)
of insulation from
each wire that needs
to be spliced.
2.Place a piece of
adhesive sealant-lined
heat shrink tubing
(Part Number
04778570 or equivalent) over the wire on one side of
the splice.
3. Place the strands of the wires being spliced so
that they are overlapping each other within the splice
band(1).

• Duplex Cross Joint

1.In order to create a duplex

wire splice, you will need to
be able to strip part of the
wires.Once the wire is
exposed, the individual wires
will need to be twisted to the
connecting wires. Make sure
that the wires are twisted
around the new ones without touching one another.
Cut off any excess wire before attaching a wire nut.
The wire nut will help keep your spliced wires locked
in place. Make sure the wire nut is secure before
using electrician’s tape to seal the project.

•Plain Tap Joint

1.Is used to a great

extent joining a tap or
other conductor to a
through conductor, as
for example, a branch
or main circuit. To make
the joint, skin the tap
wire about 2 inches and
the main wire about 1
inch. Next, the wires are
crossed intersecting
about ¼ inch from the
insulation of the tap wire and the main wire. A hook
or sharp bend is then made in the tap and about five
or six turns wound around the main wire. The joint is
soldered and tape. Care must be taken that the
solder flows and sticks through all the crevices and
that the tape covers all part of the conductors,
beginning and ending on the original insulation.

•Knotted Tap Joint

1.All the splices discussed up to this point are known

as butted splices. Each was made by joining thefree
ends of the conductors together. Sometimes,
however, it is necessary to join a branch conductor
to acontinuous wire called the main wire. Such a
junction is called a tap joint.The main wire, to which
the branch wire is to be tapped, has about 1 inch of
insulation removed. Thebranch wire is stripped of
about 3 inches of insulation. The knotted tap is
shown in figure 2-9. The branch wire is laid behind
the main wire. About three-fourths of the bare
portion of the branchwire extends above the main
wire. The branch wire is brought under the main
wire, around itself, and thenover the main wire to
form a knot. The branch wire is then wrapped
around the main conductor in short,tight turns; and
the end is trimmed off.The knotted tap is used where
the splice is subject to strain or slippage. When there
is no strain, theknot may
be eliminated.
