    15 Kinds of Wire Splices 1. Western Union Short Tie - A Wire

    Uploaded by

    Edgardo Avila de Dios
    The document describes 15 different types of wire splices used in electrical wiring. Some key splices mentioned include the Western Union short tie and long tie, which are used for small solid wires inside buildings. The Duplex wire splice joins wires in parallel. The Britannia splice is used for large solid wires inside and outside buildings where twisting is difficult. The ordinary wrapped cable splice joins stranded conductors in the absence of connectors.

    15 Kinds of Wire Splices


    1. Western union short tie - A wire
    splice widely used or applied inside to
    building. This splice is applied only to
    small solid wire.
    2.Western union long tie - A splice
    which is similar to a western union short
    tie, only that the number of twist at the
    center and at both end are more compare
    to a short tie.
    3.Duplex Wire Splice - A wire splice
    used in joining wires in parallel.
    4.Britannia - This splice in applied in
    both inside and outside the building to
    big solid wire where twisting is difficult.
    5.Scarfed Splice - A splice similar in
    appearance with that of Britannia only

    that its end is hidden.


    6.Ordinary wrapped cable splice - A
    splice used in joining through conductors
    that are stranded. This kind of splice is
    applied in the absence of the connectors.
    7.Plain tap or tee join - This is mostly
    used in outside work for joining a tap
    wire to a through conductor.
    8.Small aerial tap join - A join mostly
    used in location where wires are
    subjected to considerable movement.
    9.Knotted or loop tap join -This is
    mostly used for tapping a temporary
    wiring or lightning system where
    soldering is not applied.
    10.Ordinary cable tap join -This is
    generally used where large stranded
    wires are tap to a main or through
    conductor.

    11.Wrapped tap or tee join - This is


    used in large solid conduct where it is
    found difficult to wrap the large tap wire
    around the main wire.
    12.Split cable tap or tee join - This is
    most frequently used where small
    stranded wire or cable are tap to a
    through conductor.
    13.Ordinary cross joint - This is used
    where two tap conductors are to extend
    away from the branch conductor in
    opposite direction.
    14.Double wrapped cross join - This is
    used in the same manner and reason as
    the ordinary cross join with the
    advantage of being stronger.
    15.Rat Tail join - A wire splice mostly
    used in outlet and junction boxes.
