-
Use general purpose insulation for areas that are not subject to high temperatures.
-
Use a cross-linked polyethylene insulated wire for areas where high temperatures are expected.
Important: Use Cross-linked polyethylene wire to replace PVC, but do not replace cross-linked polyethylene with PVC.
Cross-linked polyethylene wire is not fuel resistant. Do not use to replace wire where there is the possibility of fuel contact.
4. Strip the insulation.
-
Strip approximately 7.5 mm (0.313 in) of insulation from each wire to be spliced.
-
Be careful to avoid nicking or cutting any of the strands. Check the stripped wire for nicks or cut strands.
Important: If the wire is damaged repeat this procedure after removing the damaged section.
5. Select the proper sealed splice sleeve and crimp tool nest according to wire size. See the above table for color coding of the splice sleeves and the
crimp tool nests.
-
Use the crimp and sealed splice sleeves on all types of insulation except tefzel and coaxial.
-
Do not use the crimp and sealed splice sleeve to or from a splice with more than two wires coming together.
6. Position the splice sleeve.
-
J 38125-B to position the splice sleeve in the proper color nest of the Splice Crimp Tool.
-
Place the splice sleeve in the nest so that the crimp falls midway between the end of the barrel and the stop. The sleeve has a stop 3.in the
middle of the barrel (2) to prevent the wire (1) from going further. Close the hand crimper handles slightly to hold the splice sleeve firmly in
the proper nest.
7. Insert wires Into splice sleeve and crimp.
-
Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until it hits the barrel stop.
-
Close the handles of the crimp tool tightly until the crimper handles open when released. The crimper handles will not open until you apply the
proper amount of pressure to the splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4 and 5 for the opposite end of the splice.
8. Shrink the insulation around the splice.
-
Using the heat torch apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
-
Gradually move the heat barrel to the open end of the tubing.
-
The tubing will shrink completely 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.
Flat Wire Repairs
NOTE: Be careful when you repair the flat wire within the flex wiring harness. External material of the flex wiring harness is Mylar Reg. This material
can not be easily removed without damaging the flat wire.
The flat wire within the flex wiring harness is not serviceable.If an open or short exists within the flex wiring harness the complete harness must be
replaced.
