    Here are 5 common electrical wire splices and joints shown on a board: 1. Rat Tail or Pig Tail Splice: Used inside junction boxes where there is no mechanical stress. 2. Y-Splice: Used on small, flexible cables where all strands can be wrapped in one preparation. 3. Knotted Tap Joint: Used where the tap wire is under heavy tensile stress. 4. Plain Tap Joint: Used where the tap wire is under considerable tensile stress. 5. Western Union Short-Tie Splice: The most widely used splice to extend wire length from one point to another in interior wiring.

    COMMON WIRE

    SPLICES AND JOINTS


    CSS 9 Q3-LP5
    OBJECTIVES

    Describe different methods of Common Wire


    Splices and Joints

    Observe how the different methods of


    Common Wire Splices and Joints is being
    done.
    A joint is the tying together of two single wire conductors
    so that the union will be good both mechanically and
    electrically.

    A splice is the interlaying of the strands of two stranded


    conductors so that the union will be good both
    mechanically and electrically.
     
    Making a joint tap or splice comprises the operations of:
     
    1. Removing the insulation.
    2. Cleaning the conductors.
    3. Tying or interlaying
    The following are the
    Common Electrical Wire
    Splices and Joints.
    Rat Tail or Pig Tail
    •This kind of joint is
    commonly used to join
    two or more conductors
    inside the junction box. It
    is suitable for service
    where there is no
    mechanical stress when
    wires are to be
    connected in an outlet
    box, switch, or conduit
    fitting
    Y-splice.
    • This method of wrapping is generally
    used on small cables because the strands
    are flexible, and all can be wrapped in one
    preparation.
    Knotted tap
    • This is used where the tap wire is
    under heavy tensile stress
    Plain tap joint
    • This is used where the tap wire is
    under considerable tensile stress
    circuit.
    Aerial tap.
    • This is used as a temporary tap usually
    done in constructions sites. The easy twist
    will facilitate tap wire movement
    Duplex cross joint
    • This is a two-tap wire turned
    simultaneously and is used where the
    two tap wire is under heavy tensile
    stress
    Western Union Short-tie Splice
    • This is the most widely used splice or joint
    in interior wiring installation to extend the
    length of wire from one point to another.
    Western Union Long Tie
    This is used extensively for outside wiring to
    extend the length of wire from one end to
    another.
    Cross joint.
    • The same application is done as in plain
    tap and the only difference is that this tap
    is a combination of two plain taps place
    side byside with each other.
    Wrapped Tap or Tee Joint
    • This is used on large solid conductors
    where it is difficult to wrap the heavy tap
    wire around the main wire.
