NOTE: The heat shrink sleeve material shall meet the requirements of SAE
AMS-DTL-23053/l5. The material shall be coated with a heat-activated
adhesive and fabricated into a tube shape as shown on the figures
below.
3.2.2 Coupling the BOF cable tubes.
Step l - Determine the desired length of the splice section and the tube coupler stagger scheme (see figure lCl-l).

FIGURE lCl-l. Example tube coupler stagger scheme.
NOTE: The length of the splice section depends on the diameter of pipe used for the splice center section and the number of tubes in the BOF cable. Center section pipes with inner diameters slightly larger than the BOF cable outer diameter will require long splice section lengths
to allow for tube coupler staggering within the splice. Larger center
section pipe diameters allow for shorter tube coupler stagger
distances and a shorter overall splice section length.
NOTE: Tubes shall not have tube couplers installed closer than 50 mm (2 in)
to the ends of the splice section.
Step 2 - Place the two BOF cables approximately in their final installed configuration. With the BOF cable cutter, trim the two BOF cables to the desired length.
NOTE: The two BOF cables should be cut so that they have an overlap equal to the splice section length.
Step 3 - Select pipe for the splice ends with an inner diameter slightly larger than the BOF cable outer diameter. With the pipe cutter, cut two lengths of the pipe l50 mm (6 in) in length.
NOTE: The inner diameter of the pipe should be no greater than 8 mm (0.3 in)
larger than the outer diameter of the BOF cable.
