The mold will accept: a) Crimped type connectors and b) Split solder sleeve connectors. 4.2 Multi-conductor Cables. Stagger individual connectors (provide lateral spacing of 1/2 between ends of connectors) and insulate connector with Scotch 23 Electrical Tape. Sheath opening should not exceed dimension L in Table A. Note: Connectors not provided with kit. 4.3 Tape Over Connector Area. Apply one layer, half-lapped, Scotch 23 Electrical Tape over connector area only. Do not wrap tape onto the pencilled area. 5.0 Install Mold Body 5.1 Trim mold ends with knife to fit cable slightly loose. Hold mold halves in place, centered over splice. Snap mold halves together firmly. Check to see that both seams are carefully snapped together. Tape ends of mold body around cable to seal. Use supplied Scotch 23 Electrical Tape. IMPORTANT: Stretch tape to 3/4 original width.
