In addition, create a drip loop to prevent moisture from running down the length of the wire toward devices
and connections.
Wire splicing
If for some reason using butt connectors and ring connectors is not practical, and if wires will
not
be
exposed to the elements (for example, wires lying internally within the asset’s cab) any splicing should be
done by using the standard “poke and wrap” technique.
1. Remove approximately one inch of wire insulation.
2. Split the wire in half making an oval and push the wire to be terminated through that hole.
3. Press the wire back together then wrap the excess newly inserted wire tightly around it.
4. Wrap the new splice with Super 33 or better electrical tape.
