To heat shrink wrap a splice:
The heat shrink wrap must overlap the wire insulation about .25
in. (6 mm) on both sides of the splice.
1. Select the correct diameter to allow a tight wrap when heated.
2. Heat the shrink wrap with a heat gun; do not concentrate the heat in one location, but
apply the heat over the entire length of shrink wrap until the joint is complete.
3. Repeat step 2 to apply a second layer of protection (if required by splicing guidelines).
