Splicing Instructions with Fid
Step 1
Ready to splice - carrier rope ends, Kenyon Fid, safety knife, tape, and marker.
Step 2
Mark both ends at approximately 500 mm, 1,000 mm and 1,120 mm from the ends.

Step 3
Pull the core out at the 1,000 mm mark being careful to pull it out between the plaits of the braid. Tape the ends.

Step 4
(A) Place one end of the rope cover into the fid basket. Insert the fid point at the 500 mm mark of the opposite end, between the plaits.

(B) Guide the fid through the rope and exit at the 1,120 mm mark, keep the rope loose so as not to catch or penetrate the core between the 1,000 mm and 1,120 mm area. Pull the cover through until the 500 mm mark lines up.

Step 5
Pull the cover through until the 500mm marks come together, give a firm pull on the ends to ensure the centre is tight.

Step 6
Working from the centre out slide the cover over the inner rope eliminating the loose areas. Mark all four ends where they exit the rope, pull the ends out 125 to 150 mm and cut at the marks just made.

Step 7
The overlap area must be tapered to maintain a constant diameter. To taper the cover lift one plait 100 mm from the end, cut and remove. Repeat this at 75 mm and 50 mm from the end. Taper the core in the same manner. Repeat the process on the cover and core at the opposite end.

Step 8
Work the rope gently from the centre of the splice out in both directions until the rope is retracted inside the cover. Repeat the process towards the splice until the core is retracted completely.
