Crimping
Note
The objective is to apply only the necessary pressure to crimp the butt splice closed and hold
the wire connections together.
Do not
apply so much pressure as to crush the butt splice and
sever the wire or the insulation on the wire.
2.
After crimping the inside of both ends of the butt splice on the “insulated” area of the
crimping tool, next crimp the outside of both ends of the butt splice.
WRONG
Butt splice is visibly crushed,
possibly damaging the wire
and the wire connection.
Some wires are exposed.
CORRECT
Crimping is done properly,
protecting the wire and
the wire connection.
No exposed wires.
