Step 1
 |
Wrap a piece of electrician's tape
around the wire and saw to length. A clamp or vice and a file
are useful, but not absolutely necessary. |
 |
Place the body over the
wire as shown. |
Step 2
 |
Untwist the outer strands by
picking out and twisting in the opposite direction to
the lay of the wire. |
 |
Slide the thin end of the cone
over the center core. You can force the cone
open with a screwdriver blade if necessary. |
Step 3
 |
Slide the Crown
Ring over the center core with the concave side first. |
 |
There is
a hole in the center of the threaded stud, fork or eye.
Push the Crown Ring on with this part and the core will
protrude by the correct amount. |
 |
Twist the outer strands back into
position over the cone. Firmly twist the Crown
Ring in the direction of the lay while you position
the outer strands in the slots. |
Step 4
 |
Wire Sizes up to 5mm (3/16")
require 2 strands per slot (fig.2).
Wire sizes above
5mm (3/16" ) have 1 strand per slot (fig.3). |
 |
When all of the outer strands are
located the cone and Crown Ring will remain in place
with no assistance. |
 |
Gently twist the body back over
the wire, rotating in the same direction as
the lay of the wire. |
Step 5
 |
Screw the threaded
end fitting tightly onto the body. DO
NOT apply thread locking solution at this stage. Remove
the end fitting end ensure that the outer strands
and Crown Ring have
stayed in position. Secure the fitting's thread with
Loctite 262 or some other suitable
thread locking solution.
For routine maintenance remove
the threaded end fitting, tap back the body, wash
and inspect. Fittings are fully re-usable unless
the cone is distorted.
