Area must be absolutely dry and free of all solvent residue (especially in conductor strands)
before applying any tapes.
e.
Fill any connector indents with small pieces of semi-conducting tape. Tightly level wind tape across connector

shown.
f.
Tightly half-lap splicing tape across connector area, building up to dimension (D) with a smooth taper along
distance (C), reaching maximum diameter over penciled insulation.
NOTE
Highly stretch and exactly half-lap tape to produce a void-free, uniform buildup.
g.
Tightly half-lap two layers of vinyl plastic electrical tape over entire splice, extending for one (1) inch onto each
cable jacket.
