8. Insert the wire into the splice sleeve barrel until the wire hits the barrel stop.
9. Tightly close the handles of the crimp tool until the crimper handles open when released.
The crimper handles will not open until you apply the proper amount of pressure to the DuraSeal splice sleeve. Repeat steps 4, 6 and 15 for the
opposite end of the splice.
10. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the crimped area of the barrel.
11. Start in the middle and gradually move the heat barrel to the open ends 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.
High Temperature Wiring Repairs
Use the following procedures to perform high temperature wiring repairs:
1. Center the high temperature SCT1 shrink tube over the DuraSeal splice sleeve.
2. Using the heat torch, apply heat to the high temperature heat shrink tubing.
3. Gradually move the heat from the center 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.
4. Replace any reflective tape and clips that may have been removed during the repair.
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Splicing Inline Harness Diodes
Many vehicle electrical systems use a diode to isolate circuits and protect the components from voltage spikes. When installing a new diode use the
following procedure.
1. Open the harness.
*
If the harness is taped, remove the tape.
*
To avoid wiring insulation damage, use a sewing seam ripper (available from sewing supply stores) in order to cut open the harness.
*
If the harness has a black plastic conduit, pull out the diode.
2. If the diode is taped to the harness, remove all of the tape.
3. Check and record the current flow direction and orientation of diode.
4. Remove the inoperative diode from the harness with a suitable soldering tool.
