12-Strand Class II End-for-End Splice Modified for Dirty, Used Rope
S A M S O N S P L I C I N G I N S T R U C T I O N S
Tape ends of line to be spliced. Lay the 2
ropes to be spliced side by side and measure
1 tubular fid length (2 wire fid lengths) from
taped end of each line and make a mark.
This is Mark 1.
From Mark 1, measure 2 tubular fid lengths
(4 wire fid lengths from end of rope) and
make Mark 2 on both lines.
From Mark 2, measure 4 tubular fid lengths
(8 wire fid lengths from end of rope) and
make Mark 3 on both lines.

From Mark 1, in the direction
of the taped end of the line,
mark every second right and left
strand for 3 strands.
Pull every marked strand out of
line and cut off (tape at end can
cause resistance and may have
to be removed in order to pull
out cut strands.) Tapered end
will now have only 6 strands
remaining.
Tape both areas of taper where you have cut
the strands so they do not bunch up in the
splice. Use a fid that allows the rope tail to fit
into it. The smaller diameter allows the fid to
pass through the rope easier.
