SAMSON SPLICING INSTRUCTIONS

step

Tape end to be spliced. Then measure

2 d lengths from the bitter end and

mark. This is Mark 1. Wrap tape tightly

around the rope at Mark 1.

From Mark 1, form a loop the

size of the eye desired and

mark. This is Mark 2.

From Mark 2, measure down

the rope 2-1/2 d lengths and

mark. This is Mark 3.

step

At Mark 1, pull out half the strands (3

"S" and 3 "Z") by rotating around the

rope and pulling out strands in the

pattern shown:

Z strand = counter-clockwise twist

S strand = clockwise twist

This should leave 6 strands still

braided down the middle. Tightly tape

the ends of the 6 individual strands,

as well as the end of the remaining

braided portion.

On 1 side you should have 2 S strands

and 1 Z strand. On the other side, you

should have 2 Z strands and 1 S strand.

This is a modication to the standard HMPE Tuck-Bury 12-strand splice to increase splice length

on Saturn-12. This modication must be used on Saturn-12 products larger than 1-1/2" in diameter.

At Mark 2, make a mark at the intersection of an S and a Z strand.

This will be the entry point for all 6 strands and the tail when it is

buried. The entry point should be on the side of the rope facing the

opposite leg of the eye.

From the entry point, count 2 picks down the rope and mark 6 strands

around the circumference of the rope. There will be 3 S strands and 3

Z strands marked. At each intersection of an S and a Z strand, mark

an exit point. There will be 6 exit points marked.

step

The rst 3 strands are now routed from the entry point at Mark 2 to the exit point.

Each strand is routed separately, entering at the entry point and exiting at its own

exit point. Do not pull the strands up tight yet. Leave slack at the entry point.
