DIFFERENT
METHODS OF SPLICING
THERE ARE SIX COMMONLY USED TYPES OF SPLICES. EACH HAS ADVANTAGES AND
DISADVANTAGES FOR USE. EACH SPLICE WILL BE DISCUSSED IN THE FOLLOWING
SECTION.
WESTERN UNION SPLICE
THE WESTERN UNION SPLICE IS USED WHETHER CONNECTION MUST BE STRONG
ENOUGH TO SUPPORT LONG LENGTHS OF HEAVY, WIRE. IN THE PAST, THIS SPLICE WAS

3. WRAP ONE END OF THE WIRE AND THEN THE OTHER END FOUR OR FIVE TIMES AROUND
THE STRAIGHT PORTION OF EACH WIRE.
4. PRESS THE ENDS OF THE WIRES DOWN AS CLOSE AS POSSIBLE TO THE STRAIGHT
PORTION OF THE WIRE. THIS PREVENTS THE SHARP ENDS FROM PUNCTURING THE TAPE
COVERING THAT IS WRAPPED OVER THE SPLICE. THE VARIOUS TYPES OF TAPE AND THEIR
USES ARE DISCUSSED LATER IN THIS CHAPTER.
STAGGERING SPLICES
JOINING SMALL MULTICONDUCTOR CABLES OFTEN PRESENTS A PROBLEM. EACH
CONDUCTOR MUST BE SPLICED AND TAPED. IF THE SPLICES ARE DIRECTLY OPPOSITE
EACH OTHER, THE OVERALL SIZE OF THE JOINT BECOMES LARGE AND BULKY. A SMOOTHER
AND LESS BULKY JOINT CAN BE MADE BY STAGGERING THE SPLICES.
FIGURE 2-6 SHOWS HOW A TWO-CONDUCTOR CABLE IS JOINED TO A SIMILAR SIZE CABLE
BY USING A WESTERN UNION SPLICE AND BY STAGGERING THE SPLICES. CARE SHOULD
BE TAKEN TO ENSURE THAT A SHORT WIRE FROM ONE SIDE OF THE CABLE IS SPLICED TO
A LONG WIRE, FROM THE OTHER SIDE OF THE CABLE. THE SHARP ENDS ARE THEN
CLAMPED FIRMLY DOWN ON THE CONDUCTOR. THE FIGURE SHOWS A WESTERN UNION
SPLICE, BUT OTHER TYPES OF SPLICES WORK JUST AS WELL.

RATTAIL JOINT
A SPLICE THAT IS USED IN A JUNCTION BOX AND FOR CONNECTING BRANCH CIRCUITS IS
THE RATTAIL JOINT (FIGURE 2-
.
FIGURE 2-7.—RATTAIL JOINT.
WIRING THAT IS INSTALLED IN BUILDINGS IS USUALLY PLACED INSIDE LONG
LENGTHS OF STEEL OR ALUMINUM PIPE CALLED A CONDUIT. WHENEVER BRANCH OR
MULTIPLE CIRCUITS ARE NEEDED, JUNCTION BOXES ARE USED TO JOIN THE CONDUIT.
TO CREATE A RATTAIL JOINT, FIRST STRIP THE INSULATION OFF THE ENDS OF THE
CONDUCTORS TO BE JOINED. YOU THEN TWIST THE WIRES TO FORM THE RATTAIL
EFFECT. THIS TYPE OF SPLICE WILL NOT STAND MUCH STRESS.

KNOTTED TAP JOINT
ALL THE SPLICES DISCUSSED UP TO THIS POINT ARE KNOWN AS BUTTED
SPLICES. EACH WAS MADE BY JOINING THE FREE ENDS OF THE CONDUCTORS
TOGETHER. SOMETIMES, HOWEVER, IT IS NECESSARY TO JOIN A BRANCH
CONDUCTOR TO A CONTINUOUS WIRE CALLED THE MAIN WIRE. SUCH A JUNCTION IS
CALLED A TAP JOINT.
THE MAIN WIRE, TO WHICH THE BRANCH WIRE IS TO BE TAPPED, HAS ABOUT 1
INCH OF INSULATION REMOVED. THE BRANCH WIRE IS STRIPPED OF ABOUT 3 INCHES OF

THE BAR E PORTION OF THE BRANCH WIRE EXTENDS ABOV E THE MAIN WIR E. THE
BRANCH WIRE IS BROUGHT UNDER THE MAIN WIRE, AROUND ITSELF, AND THEN OVER THE
MAIN WIRE TO FORM A KNOT. THE BRANCH WIRE IS THEN WRAPPED AROUND THE MAIN
CONDUCTOR IN SHORT, TIGHT TURNS; AND THE END IS TRIMMED OFF.
THE KNOTTED TAP IS USED WHERE THE SPLICE IS SUBJECT TO STRAIN OR
SLIPPAGE. WHEN THERE IS NO STRAIN, THE KNOT MAY BE ELIMINATED.
WIRE NUT AND SPLIT BOLT SPLICES
THE WIRE NUT (VIEW A OF FIGURE 2-10) IS A DEVICE COMMONLY USED TO

THE SPLIT BOLT SPLICE (VIEW B OF FIGURE 2-10) IS USED EXTENSIVELY TO JOIN
LARGE CONDUCTORS. IN THE ILLUSTRATION, IT IS SHOWN REPLACING THE KNOTTED TAP
JOINT. THE SPLIT BOLT SPLICE CAN ALSO BE USED TO REPLACE THE "BUTTED" SPLICES
MENTIONED PREVIOUSLY WHEN USING LARGE CONDUCTORS. TAPE IS APPLIED TO THE
SPLICE WITH A LIGHT TENSION SO THAT EACH LAYER PRESSES TIGHTLY AGAINST THE ONE
BENEATH IT. THIS PRESSURE CAUSES THE RUBBER TAPE TO BLEND INTO A SOLID
MASS. UPON COMPLETION, INSULATION SIMILAR TO THE ORIGINAL IS RESTORED.

ROTATING IT AROUND THE INSULATION WHILE APPLYING
PRESSURE IN ORDER TO MAKE A CUT AROUND THE

SOLDERING IRON
A SOLDERING IRON IS A HAND TOOL USED IN
SOLDERING. IT SUPPLIES HEAT TO MELT
THE SOLDER SO THAT IT CAN FLOW INTO THE JOINT
BETWEEN TWO WORKPIECES.
LINESMAN PLIERS
A HAND TOOL USED TO HOLD OBJECTS
FIRMLY, FOR BENDING, OR PHYSICAL COMPRESSION. GENERALLY,
PLIERS CONSIST OF A PAIR OF METAL FIRST-CLASS LEVERSJOINED
AT A FULCRUM POSITIONED CLOSER TO ONE END OF THE
LEVERS, CREATING SHORT JAWS ON ONE SIDE OF THE
FULCRUM, AND LONGER HANDLES ON THE OTHER SIDE. THIS
ARRANGEMENT CREATES A MECHANICAL ADVANTAGE, ALLOWING
THE FORCE OF THE HAND'S GRIP TO BE AMPLIFIED AND FOCUSED
ON AN OBJECT WITH PRECISION . THE JAWS CAN ALSO BE USED
TO MANIPULATE
OBJECTS TOO SMALL OR UNWIELDY TO BE MANIPULATED WITH
THE FINGERS.
