Finishing the Splice
1. Place a 38.1 mm [1 .50 in.] section of heat shrink tubing over the crimped splice. The splice should be
centered in the tubing, with approximately 12.7 mm [.50 in.] of tubing on either side of splice. See
Figure 10.
2. Heat the tubing with the heat gun until the tubing shrinks to the shape of splice. Do NOT overheat
wires. Refer to Figure 11.
NOTE
Also apply tubing to bare ground wires.

3. For stranded copper wire attached directly to a device, use a wire nut to connect the stranded wire to
a solid copper pigtail. Refer to Figure 12.
