Cut a 38mm (1.5 in) section of self-amalgamating tape and wrap it completely
around the joint between the drop and ground cables.
6
Use the remainder of the self-amalgamating tape to wrap the complete
assembly. Press the tape edges together so that there are no gaps.
7
Wrap a layer of PVC tape from bottom to top, starting from 25 mm (1 in) below
and finishing 25 mm (1 in) above the edge of the self-amalgamating tape, over
lapping at half width.
8
Repeat with a further four layers of PVC tape, always overlapping at half width.
Wrap the layers in alternate directions: second layer - top to bottom; third layer
- bottom to top; fourth layer - top to bottom; fifth layer - bottom to top.
The edges of each layer should be 25mm (1 in) above (A) and 25 mm (1 in)
below (B) the previous layer.
