Wire Termination & Insulation
Remove any oil, grease, water, dirt, etc., by wiping
the cable ends and connector. Remove all sharp
edges and burrs from connector.
Center tubing over splice connector.
Use the light blue outer portion of the flame when using
the SIT-1 torch. Do not hold the torch still in one position
or concentrate the hot inner flame of the torch on the
tubing; this may cause scorching.
Begin heating tubing in the center. Recover the
central portion of the tubing first by heating around
the circumference of the splice. (Keep heat source
moving constantly around the circumference of the
insulator to ensure uniform shrinkage of the insulator.)
Continue heating around the tubing and out toward
one end. Move torch around the tubing until one end
is completely recovered.
Repeat the above procedure on the opposite end
of the splice, again working from the center outward
and around the tubing.
Installation is complete when the tubing conforms
to splice and sealant flow is apparent at both ends.
