How to Use
- Prepare Your Wires: Cut and strip the wires to the appropriate length, ensuring the insulation is removed correctly.
- Insert Wires: Place the stripped wire ends into each side of the butt splice, ensuring they reach the internal indentation for a secure fit.
- Crimp the Connector: Use the proper crimping tool to secure each side of the butt splice around the wires, creating a solid electrical connection.
- Perform a Tug Test: Gently pull the wires to ensure they are firmly connected and won't come loose.
- Apply Heat: Use a heat gun or torch to evenly apply heat to the heat shrink tubing, allowing it to contract and form a waterproof seal around the connection.
By following these steps, you'll establish a durable and environmentally protected connection suitable for the rigorous demands of marine applications.
