12-Strand Class II End-For-End Splice

SAMSON SPLICING INSTRUCTIONS

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

Dyneema

, Vectran

, Technora

, and Zylon

This end-for-end splice may be performed on new or used rope. This

is an all-purpose 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.

Note: Some small sizes of 12-strand products have been converted to an

8-strand single braid.

step

Tape ends of line to be spliced. Lay 2 ropes to

be spliced side by side and measure 1 tubular

d length, (2 wire d lengths) from taped end

of each line and make a mark. This is Mark 1.

From Mark 1, measure 2 tubular d lengths

(4 wire d lengths from end of rope)

and make Mark 2 on both lines.

From Mark 2, measure 4 tubular d lengths

(8 wire d lengths from end of rope)

and make Mark 3 on both lines.

Finished splice

step

From Mark 1, in the direction of the taped end of the line,

mark every second right and left strand* for 3 strands.**

Pull every marked strand out of line and cut off (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 (or 4 strands if the rope is

an 8-strand construction.) Re-tape tapered tail tightly to keep from unbraiding.

*Some rope diameters may have pairs of strands in

right and left direction. In this case, treat the pairs

of strands as a single strand, marking and cutting

both in each direction as described below.

**Some very small diameters may be 8-strand

construction. For an 8-strand construction, mark

every 3rd left and right strand for 2 strands.

MEASURING AND MARKING

TAPERING TAIL

step

Reposition ropes for splicing according to diagram below.

REPOSITIONING ROPES

step

Attach d to tapered end of Rope

A and insert d into Rope B at

Mark 2. Bring out past Mark 3,

then remove d.

BURYING ROPE A INTO ROPE B

Tie off the tail of Rope

A to a stationary object,

then use both hands and

weight of your body to

smooth Rope B toward

Rope A to bury Rope A

up to its own Mark 2.

Leave tail sticking out.
