Double Braid Class II Eye Splice

SAMSON SPLICING INSTRUCTIONS

Class II (core-dependent) double braids are made in whole or part from any of the following high modulus bers:

Dyneema

, Vectran

, Technora

, and Zylon

The eye splice is used to place a permanent loop in the end of a rope, generally for attachment purposes

to a xed point. An eye is also used to form the rope around a thimble, which is used to protect the rope,

especially when it is to be attached to a shackle, chain, or wire rope.

The following procedure is intended to preserve the strength of double braided

rope constructions where the rope’s core is the primary strength member.

MARKING THE COVER

step

EXTRACTING THE CORE

Measure eye size back from Mark 1 and place Mark 2 on both the cover and core, as done with Mark 1.

When splicing on a thimble with ears, slide thimble on and position between Mark 1 and Mark 2. Leave

in place and continue with the splice. Thimble must be positioned between “X” points (see Step 1B).

Extract core at Point X1 nearest end of

rope. Put an overhand knot in core at the

point where it comes out of the cover.

Measure 2 tubular d lengths back from bitter end:

Place Mark 1 on cover and on core.

(For AmSteel

II Plus: the required bury length is 3 ds.)
