Double Braid Class II Eye Splice Modiﬁed for TS-II Turbo

SAMSON SPLICING INSTRUCTIONS

The measurements are the same as those for the direct bury eye splice for

Class II ropes. Measure 3 d lengths from the end and make Mark 2.

Form the desired size of the eye, and make Mark 3 adjacent to

Mark 2. From Mark 3, measure 3-1/2 d lengths and make Mark 4.

The splice area must be covered with DC Gard at the completion of the

splice. Cut a piece of DC Gard that is 5-1/2 d lengths long (the distance

from Mark 3 to Mark 4 plus 2 d lengths.) Slide the DC Gard onto the

rope and beyond Mark 4*.

From Mark 3, measure 2 fid lengths towards Mark 4. Mark this point, then cut the cover completely around the circumference of the rope. Be careful not to cut any of the core strands or yarns. Unbraid the cover from the cut towards Mark 4, and from the cut towards Mark 3. The cover is left intact around the eye, from Mark 2 to Mark 3.

Cut every marked strand and pull out of line (tape at end can cause resistance and may have to be removed in order to pull out cut strands.) Tapered end will now have only 6 strands remaining. Tape tapered tail tightly to keep from unbraiding.
