Be sure matching primaries from each cable are in same sleeve. 3) Center the sleeve over the splice. 4) Apply heat to the center of the sleeve until it recovers, and then heat ends until sealing rings melt and flow along wires. 5) Inspect per Paragraph 6.1. c) Shield Splice 1) Center the shield splice sleeve over the splice and the exposed cable shields. 2) Heat sleeve. a) Heat center of sleeve until the solder melts and the shield and tube recover. b) Move the heat toward one end of the shield slowly enough to keep the sleeve recovering as you move along. c) Apply heat for an additional 5 to 10 seconds to the final 12.5 mm (half-inch) of the sleeve shield to ensure sufficient heat transfer to the cable shield to make a good joint. d) Apply heat to end of sleeve until rings melt and flow along cable jacket. e) Repeat for other end of sleeve. 3) Inspect per Paragraph 6.2.
