2.2.6 Position the splice body over connector area, aligning its end at the center of the tape marker. Slowly start to
remove the splice core by pulling and unwinding the loose end counterclockwise, allowing only 1/4" (6 mm)
of the splice to shrink onto the tape marker. Carefully slide the body off of the tape by pulling and twisting
until the entire tape marker is exposed. Continue removing core to complete the splice body installation.
Note: The splice body ends must overlap onto the semi-conducting layer of each cable by at least 1/2" (12,7 mm).

Note: DO NOT push the splice body towards the tape marker, as this may cause the end to roll under.
If the end does roll under, DO NOT use sharp edged tools to pull it out as this could cut and
damage the splice.
2.2.4 Clean cables using standard practice:
a. Do not use solvent or abrasive on cable semi-conductive insulation shield.
b.
If abrasive is used on cable insulation, do not reduce diameter below the 1.07" (27,2 mm) minimum
specified for the splice.
2.2.5 Apply red compound on cable insulation, making certain to fill in edge of cable semi-cons.
DO NOT use silicone grease.
