To heat shrink wrap a splice:
1. Select the correct diameter to allow a tight wrap when heated. The heat shrink wrap must
be long enough to overlap the wire insulation about14 in. on both sides of the splice.
2. Heat the shrink wrap with a heat gun; do not concentrate the heat in one location, but play
the heat over the entire length of shrink wrap until the joint is complete.
