The Simple Application Of A 3M Cold Shrink Cable Joint
1. Park the 3M Cold Shrink splice body onto the prepared cable, connect the cores and clean thoroughly. | 2. Thoroughly grease the connected cable in preparation for the splice body. | 3. Once in position, begin to remove the inner coil from the joint body. | 4. For extra peace of mind, take advantage of the fact that splice body position is easily checked. |
5. Place the earth stocking over the splice body. Ground and secure with 3M Constant Force Springs. | 6. Insulate the constant force springs with Scotch 23 Rubber Splicing Tape and then overlay with Scotch Rubber Mastic Tape 2228. | 7. Position the pre-parked 3M Cold Shrink Outer Protection Tube over the stocking and begining to remove the inner supporting core. | 8. Continue to remove the inner core until the outer tube is fully shrink, completing the cable joint. |
