Crimping
• When crimping a butt-spliced wire or cable, be sure the insulated butt splice is crimped
using the insulated position on the crimp tool and not the crimping “tooth” of the tool.
• Crimping butt splices incorrectly can result in a severed wire and a failed wire connection.
Caution
DO NOT crimp on the crimp “tooth.”
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.
