3-Strand Class I Rope-To-Chain Splice

SAMSON SPLICING INSTRUCTIONS

step

From one end of the rope, count back 16

picks. Unlay the strands from the bitter end

up to the taped section. Tape each individual

strand at the bitter end, to prevent unraveling,

and mark each strand 1, 2 and 3.

PREPARING THE ROPE

Line up the rope to the last link of the chain so that Strand 2 is in the middle and Strands 1 and 3

are on either end. Take Strand 2 and pass it through one side of the chain link. Strands 1 and 3 are

to pass through the chain link from the opposite side, staying on the outside of Strand 2 (Fig. A).

THREADING THE CHAIN

Begin tucking the strands in an “over

1, under 1” pattern (Fig.B), just as in

a 3-Strand Eye Splice (page 6).

TUCKING STRANDS

step

Class I ropes are made from any or all of the following bers: olen, polyester, or nylon.

Although the 3-strand splice is the most common splice, and simple to perform,

technique is important to preserve splice strength. Take care that the tucks lie neatly,

as rope strength can be lost if the strands are twisted incorrectly.
