12-Strand Class II End-for-End Splice Modiﬁed for Dirty, Used Rope

SAMSON SPLICING INSTRUCTIONS

Class II ropes are made in whole or part from high modulus bers:

Dyneema

, Vectran

, Technora

, and Zylon

This splicing procedure is specically for used, dirty ropes that

require repair or re-splicing. By following the procedure below, the

spliced rope can retain from 90% to 100% of the residual strength

of the used rope strength.

step

Fill a large bucket with clean, warm

water. Place the area of the rope that

will be spliced in the bucket to soak.

Starting at one end of the rope, grab the rope and “birdcage”

the rope while underwater. This means that you will slack

and milk the rope while in the bucket to clean out the interior

section of the rope.

As the water may be dirty after the rst round of

cleaning, you may need to dump the water out and

start with a fresh bucket of water. Continue to refresh

water and wash until the rope appears clean.

Insert fid at Mark 2 of Rope B, Mark 1 bring out past Mark 3, then remove fid. When feeding the fid through with the tail attached, do not hold on to the fid and try to milk the slack back. Doing this will cause the tapered end to disconnect from the fid. Hold on to the section Mark 2 of the tapered end right above the fid to avoid this.
