To Splice or Repair the Boundary Wire
If you need additional Boundary Wire to expand your wire
loop, you will need to splice the wires together. Note the
locations of all splices for future reference.
Strip approximately
3
⁄
8
inch of insulation off the ends of the
Boundary Wires to be spliced (
3D
). Make sure the copper
Boundary Wire is not corroded. If the Boundary Wire is
corroded, cut it back to expose clean copper wire.
Insert the stripped ends into the wire nut and twist the wire
nut around the wires. Ensure that there is no copper exposed
beyond the end of the wire nut. Tie a knot 3 to 4 inches from
the wire nut (
3E
). Ensure that the wire nut is secure on the
wire splice.

Once you have securely spliced the wires together, open the lid of the gel-filled
splice capsule and insert the wire nut as deeply as possible into the waterproof
gel inside the capsule (
3F
). Snap the lid of the capsule shut (
3G
). For proper
system performance, the splice connection must be waterproof.
If your splice pulls loose, the entire system will fail. Make sure your splice is
secure. Additional gel-filled splice capsules and wire nuts are available through
the Customer Care Center.

Additional
Boundary Wire
Extra direct burial Boundary Wire can
be purchased in 500 foot spools at the
store where you purchased the kit or
through the Customer Care Center at
1-800-732-2677.
Note: When adding Boundary Wire, it
must act as a continuous loop.
The table at right indicates the
approximate length of Boundary Wire
needed for a square, Single Loop
layout. Length will vary due to the
amount of twisted wire and layout
used.
