12-Strand Class II Tuck-Bury End-For-End Splice

SAMSON SPLICING INSTRUCTIONS

step

Tape the ends of the ropes to be

spliced. Lay Ropes A and B side-by-

side and measure 1-1/2 tubular d

lengths, (if using a wire d, measure

3 d lengths because wire ds are

half size) from the taped end of

each line and make Mark 1.

From Mark 1, measure

1-3/4 d lengths and make

Mark 2 on both ropes.

step

At Mark 1, pull out half the strands (3 “S” and 3 "Z") by rotating

around the rope, pulling out strands in the pattern shown:

Z Strands = counter clockwise twist

S Strands = clockwise twist

This should leave 6 strands still braided down the middle.

Tightly tape the ends of the 6 individual strands, and the

end of the remaining braided portion.

On 1 side you should have 2 S and 1 Z

and on the other side, 2 Z and 1 S.

The Tuck-Bury splice is designed as a short splice for Class II 12-strand ropes only.
