Crimp Inspection
1. Refer to Figure 8 and check each splice for the following:
a. Crimp centered in splice.
b. Splice size stamped on splice agrees with wire combination shown in Figure 4.
c. Die proof mark present on underside of splice (- for No.8 dies, = for No.6 dies).
d. Wire ends extend past splice end.
e. No wire insulation in crimped splice; no cross-overs
f. No open crack at splice seam.
2. Check each crimped splice with the secondary crimp gage to be sure of a proper crimp. Find the gage
end with the color code dot matching the color code stripe on the splice. Align the splice as shown in
Figure 9 and insert the splice into the gage. The splice should enter the gage easily.
Figure 8
3. If the splice does not meet the gage test, check that the proper wire sizes and combinations listed in
Figure 4 were used, cut off the splice, strip the wires, and apply a new splice.
