Splicing Instructions with Fid





The only tools
needed for splicing
Kenyon Braided carrier
ropes are a Kenyon splicing
needle or fid and a sharp
knife, making splicing a
simple and quick
operation.
Step 1
Ready to splice - carrier rope ends, Kenyon fid, safety knife, tape and marker.

Step 2
Mark both ends at approximately 800 mm and 1,800 mm from end.

Step 3
Push the basket back, insert one end of the rope, and release (to ensure a tight grip on the rope, compress the basket with your fingers). Insert the point of the fid at the 800 mm mark on the opposite end.

Step 4
Push the fid through the rope and bring it out at the 1,800 mm mark.

Step 5
To make a proper taper, start at 300 mm from both rope ends, cut through one strand of braid and remove. Repeat at 35-40 mm intervals until seven strands have been shortened, giving a long taper.

Step 6
The tapered end. Work back into the centre of the rope completely.

Step 7
To complete the splice repeat steps 2-6 for the opposite end.
