METHOD OF INSTALLING LIMITED TENSION JUMPER-LOOP SPLICES

ON ACSS CONDUCTORS

from the open end of the splice to the knurled ring.

3. With a clean stainless steel wire brush (V-brush type recommended), aggressively brush the full circumference

of the conductor end over the full insertion length for first splice side to be compressed. Immediately apply a

generous coat of FARGO Hi-Temperature Joint Compound (HTJC) over the just brushed conductor strands.

4. Remove the protective plastic and any end plug from the splice. Select the compression die set indicated on the

splice. Mount die halves in press and lubricate die faces and crimp zone with clean oil or clean plastic bag

material. (If plastic used as lubricant, ensure that it wraps completely around the splice tube, fully covering both

die face during each compression).

5. Reverse Crimp – Use this procedure only if splice has center hole to relieve hydraulic pressure in joint

compound when second side is compressed. Remove center plug and set aside. If splice is not pre-filled,

between adjacent crimps. Be sure that full die closure occurs with each crimp. To prevent bowing, keep

compression zone lubricated and be sure that the splice is firmly seated in one die half while dies are closing.

With center plug still out, repeat this procedure for opposite conductor/splice end.

As reverse compressions are complete, remove joint compound expelled at center hole. If no joint compound is

expelled from filler port hole, inject HTJC16 compound to fill the center cavity completely. Hammer filler plug

is blocked at splice ID, remove some of the blocking strand with a drill bit sized to match the small end of the

tapered plug).

BEFORE REVERSE CRIMPING, COMPOUND MUST BE APPLIED NEAR THE OPEN END AS INDICATED ABOVE, TO

PREVENT POOR CONTACT HOT SPOT DEVELOPMENT IN THE CONNECTOR.
