When you're using a twist-on connector to splice a stranded wire with a solid wire, it's a good idea to strip an extra 1/8 inch of insulation from the stranded wire, and to hold the wires together so the stranded wire extends 1/8 inch past the solid. This helps the wire connector...
When you're ready to splice the wires, strip about five inches of casing off the ends. Then take off about half an inch of plastic coating, leaving the ends of the wires exposed. If your junction box isn't already set up with clamps, you may have to install some into the openings o...
Take one set of wires that you intend to splice and place the ends/terminals next to each other—negative to negative (-), positive to positive (+). You want the wires to be in-phase. If you're unsure,test the speaker wires with a battery. Using the wire cutters, strip off the ex...

The steps are essentially the same as basic splicing, but things are different after you’ve stripped and unwound all eight of the wires on both ends you want to splice together. Once the wires are unwound and aligned, twist the corresponding color-coded wires from each cable. Be sure that...
Step 2 Insert the copper and aluminum wires into the splice-bolt connector opening. Check the placement of the wires to ensure that the alloy spacer separates the stripped section of the wires. Also, check the connection between the wires and the splice-bolt to ensure that the connection area...
How to Splice Two USB Cables Together Step 4 Wind the wires from one portion of the cable around the corresponding wires from the other, making sure that you match the colors of the insulation on each wire when doing so. Wrap electrical tape around each spliced wire when done. ...
How to Do a Western Union Splice: This the solder splice that offers the least resistance I've ever found : less than a hundred micro ohms! My Ohmmeter doesn't read less than that, so I'm happy with it. It's quite easy to do and offers great mechanical r
The ground wire is already bare but I'll need to remove insulation from the black, red, and white conductors before they can be connected to a device or to a splice. Excerpting from HOW to CONNECT WIRES to a RECEPTACLE or SWITCH Above I'm showing the wire strip-back gauge area marked...
