Step 1
 |
Wrap a piece of electrician's tape
around the wire and saw to length.
A clamp or
vice and a file are useful, but not absolutely necessary. |
 |
Place the body over the wire as shown. |
Step 2
 |
Untwist the outer strands
by
picking out and twisting in the opposite direction to the
lay of the wire. |
 |
Slide the thin end of the cone over
the center core.
You can force the cone open with
a screwdriver blade if necessary. |
Step 3
 |
Slide the Crown Ring over
the center core with the concave side first. |
 |
There is a hole in the center
of the threaded stud, fork or eye.
Push the Crown
Ring on with this part
and the core will protrude
by the correct amount. |
 |
Twist the outer strands back into position
over the cone.
Firmly twist the Crown Ring in
the direction of the lay
while you position the outer strands
in the slots. |
Step 4
 |
Wire Sizes up to 5mm (3/16")
require 2 strands per slot (fig.2).
Wire sizes above 5mm (3/16" ) have 1 strand
per slot (fig.3). |
 |
When all of the outer strands are located
the cone and Crown Ring will
remain in place with no assistance. |
 |
Gently twist the body back over the
wire,
rotating in the same direction as the lay
of the wire. |
Step 5
 |
Screw the threaded end
fitting tightly onto the body.
DO
NOT apply thread locking solution at this stage.
Remove
the end fitting end ensure that the outer strands and
Crown Ring have stayed in position. Secure the fitting's
thread with Loctite 262 or some other
suitable thread locking solution.
For routine maintenance remove the threaded end fitting,
tap back the body, wash and inspect. Fittings
are fully re-usable unless the cone is distorted.
