End For End Splice Class 2, 12 Strand Ropes

end for end 12strand Class Ii Class II ropes are made in whole or part from high modulus fibers Additional rope needed for splice Dyneema Vectran Technora and Zylon 7 fid lengths This end for end splice may be performed on new or used rope This is an allpurpose splice technique designed for people who generally splice used rope as frequently as new rope By following the procedure below the splice can retain from 90 to 100 of average new rope strength and in used rope up to the same proportion of residual used rope strength 1 Marking Measurements step Tape ends of line to be spliced Lay 2 ropes to be spliced sidebyside and measure one tubular fid length 2 wire fid lengths because wire fids are half size from taped end of each line and make a mark Mark 1 From Mark 1 measure 2 tubular fid lengths 4 wire fid lengths and make Mark 2 on both lines From Mark 2 measure 312 tubular fid lengths 7 wire fid lengths and make Mark 3 on both lines Mark 3 Mark 2 Mark 1 312 Fids 2 Fid 1 Fid or 2 Wire Fids 2step ta p e r i n g ta i l From Mark 1 in the direction of the taped end of the line mark every second right and left strand for 3 strands Cut every marked strand and pull out of line Mark 3 312 Fids Mark 2 2 Fids Mark 1 tapered tail 3 pair of strands pulled out and cut off tape at end can cause resistance and may have to be removed in order to pull out cut 8strand Some rope diameters may have pairs of strands in strands taper right and left direction In this case treat the pairs of Tapered end will now have only 6 strands strands as a single strand marking and cutting both remaining or 4 strands if the rope is an in each direction as described below 8strand construction Tape tapered tail For an 8strand construction mark every 3rd left tightly to keep from unbraiding and right strand for 2 strands 3step repositioning ropes Reposition ropes for splicing according to diagram above Mark 3 Mark 2 Mark 1 Tapered Tail Rope A Tapered Tail Rope B Mark 1 Mark 2 Mark 3 Page 1 of 2 2090 Thornton Street T 3603844669 20062008 Samson Rope Technologies All rights reserved Ferndale WA USA 98248 F 3603840572 end for end 12strand Class Ii 4 burying rope a into rope b Fid epst ail Attach fid to tapered end of Rope A and insert fid into Rope B dT re at Mark 2 and bring out at Mark 3 Then remove fid Mark 2 pe Mark 3 Ta Pull tapered tail of Rope A until you have buried up to Mark 2 Once you have fid and tapered tail through Rope B Mark 1 the line tie off tail to stationary object then use both hands and weight of body to bury Rope B up to Mark 2 Rope B Leave tail sticking out Rope A 5 e A ailstep Ropered T finish burying Tap Mark 3 Attach tapered tail of Rope B to fid Insert fid into Rope A approximately the diameter Rope B B of the line away from insertion point of Rope pe Ro A into Rope B Bring fid and tail out at Mark Rope Mark 2 A 3 of Rope A Following same procedures as Mark 3 Rope A in Step 4 to bury Rope B up to its Mark 2 B Leave tail sticking out R ope l Tai Mark 2 e red Fid Tap 6 l A Smooth Smooth Tai S M OOTH OUT SPLICE Rope A Pu llstep Pull tails to tighten crossover Then smooth ll Crossover Rope B Pu braid in both directions away from the crossover lB Now cut off tailscut tails on an angle so as to Tai Cut tails at an angle give them a point Finished Splice Give a final smoothing away from crossover stroking rope firmly Tails should bury inside cover Buried Tails A 1 8 Picks lock stitch procedure step From Mark 2 at crossover count 8 picks in either direction and insert stitching twine 2 A B Working towards the crossover pass end B back step and forth through splice until a minimum of 3 complete stitches have been made on each side of crossover B A Knot 2A Tie an overhand knot in each tail as close to its exit point as possible 2B Insert tail of stitching twine at exact location where twine emerges Using needle or small fid pull or push through B rope at a slight angle Pull hard on the end of the twine so that the knot disappears inside the rope Trim off the remaining twine close to the rope Page 2 2090 Thornton Street T 3603844669 20062008 Samson Rope Technologies All rights reserved Ferndale WA USA 98248 F 3603840572
