Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp And Seal Splice Sleeves
4. Select the proper splice sleeve according to the wire size.
Splicing Copper Wire Using Crimp And Seal Splice Sleeves
5. Insert the wires into the splice sleeve and crimp.
^
Place the splice tool in the nest so that the crimp falls at point 1 on the splice. The sleeve has a stop in the middle of the barrel in order to
prevent the wire from going farther.
^
Close the hand crimper handles slightly in order to hold the splice sleeve firmly in the proper nest.
^
Insert the wire into the splice until it hits the barrel stop.
^
Close the handles of the J 38125 until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not reopen until the proper amount of
pressure is applied to the splice sleeve.
6. Shrink the insulation around the splice.
^
Use a torch in order to apply heat where the barrel is crimped.
^
Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing, shrinking the tubing as the heat is moved along the insulation. A small amount of
sealant will come out of the end of the tubing when sufficient shrinkage is achieved.

TOOLS REQUIRED
J 38125 Terminal Repair Kit
1. Open the harness.
^
If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
^
To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing ripper in order to cut open the harness.
^
If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the desired wire.
2. Cut the wire.
^
Cut as little wire off the harness as possible.
^
Ensure that each splice is at least 40 mm (1.5 in) away from other splices, harness branches, and connectors. This will help prevent moisture
from bridging adjacent splices and causing damage.
