1. Using a crimping tool, crimp the butt splice one end at a time. First, crimp the inside
crimp area where the wire has been stripped. Apply necessary pressure to this inside
area. Remember, the wire is stripped!
Note
The objective is to apply only the necessary pressure to crimp the butt splice closed and hold
the wire connections together. Do not apply so much pressure as to crush the butt splice and
sever the wire or the insulation on the wire.
