FISHTAIL JOINT

A BASIC WIRE JOINT OF TWO CONDUCTORS WRAPED


AROUND EACH OTHER.

RAT TAIL JOINT

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 STREES WHEN WIRES ARE TO BE
CONNECTED IN AN OUTLET BOX, SWITCH, OR CONDUIT
FITTING.

WESTERN UNION SHORT 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.
BRITANIC SPLICE

WIRES WOUND TOGETHER TO MAKE LARGE STRANDS,


ARE RIGID AND REQUIRE COSIDERABLE TIME IN
MAKING SUCH A SPLICE.

BRITANIA SPLICE

THE BRITANIA SPLICE IS WHERE A 90 DEGREE BEND TO


MAKE A SHOULDER AT THE END OF EACH WIRE BACK
TO BACK TO EACH OTHER AND THEN WRAPED WITH
ANOTHER GAUGE WIRE AROUND THE WHOLE THING.

LOOP TAP JOINT

A KIND OF TAP JOINT THAT CONNECT THE END OF THE


SPLICE BACK TO IT, MAKING IT A LOOP JOINT.
THROUGH FIXTURE IN JOINT

AN INSIDE FIXTURE CONNECTED TO BRANCH


WIRES AT AN INTERMIDIATE POINT.

TERMINATING JOINT

TERMINATING FIXTURE JOINT IS USED WHEN


FIXTURE LEADS ARE JOINED TO THE END RUN OF
.THE TOP CONDUCTOR

WESTERN UNION LONG SPLICE

THIS IS USED EXTENSIVELY FOR OUTSIDE WIRING


TO EXTEND THE LENGTH OF WIRE FROM ONE END
TO ANOTHER.
DUPLEX

THIS IS A TWO-TAP WIRE TURNED


SIMULTANEOUSLY AND IS USED WHERE THE
TWO TAP WIRE IS UNDER HEAVY TENSILE
STREES.

END FIXTURE JONT

END FIXTURE JOINT, USED TO CONNECT A SMALL


DIAMETER WIRE, IS TO BE JOINED TO A
TERMINATING BRANCH.

DOUBLE CROSS JOINT

A DOUBLE-CROSSED JOINT, IS USED IN THE SAME


MANNER AS THE ORDINARY CROSS JOINT WITH
THE ADVANTAGE OF BEING STRONGER.
CROSS JOINT

THE SAME APPLICATION IS DONE AS IN


PLAIN TAP AND THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS
THAT THIS TAP IS A COMBINATIONOF TWO
PLAIN TAPS PLACE SIDE BY SIDE WITH EACH
OTHER.

PIG-TAIL JOINT

IS A VERY BASIC ELECTRICAL SPLICE THAT


CAN BE DONE WITH BOTH SOLID AND
STRANDED WIRE. IT IS MADE BY TAKING
TWO OR MORE BARE WIRES AND
WRAPPING THEM TOGETHER
SYMMETRICALLY ARROUND THE COMMON
.AXIS OF BOTH WIRES

FISHTAIL JOINT CURVED

A CURVED FISHTAIL JOINT.


ORDINARY CROSS JOINT

A COMBINATION OF WIRE TAPS WHERE TWO TAP


CONDUCTORS NEED TO EXTEND AWAY FROM THE
BRANCH CONDUCTOR IN THE OPPOSITE DIRECTION.

TAP JOINT

THIS IS USED WHERE THE TAP WIRE IS UNDER


CONSIDERABLE TENSILE STREES CIRCUIT.

INJURE SLEAVOR

TWO CONDUCTOR TAP JOINT IN OPPOSITE ENDS.


THROUGH FIXTURE OUT JOINT

A FIXTURE CONNECTED TO BRANCH WIRES AT AN


INTERMIDIATE POINT WITH AN OUTSIDE JOINT.

THROUGH FIXTURE LONG JOINT

A FIXTURE JOINT WITH A WRAPED COIL AROUND


WHERE TWO CONDUCTORS MEET.

OBJECTIVE:

TO BE ABLE TO PRACTICE AND FAMILLIARIZE THE DIFFERENT


COMMON WIRE SPLICES AND JOINTS.

MATERIALS:

- GAUGE 10 COPPER WIRE

- WIRE STRIPPER

- LONG NOSE PLIER

- BENCH VISE

- RUBBER MALLET

PROCEDURE:

- BRING THE REQUIRED MATERIAL NEEDED IN THE ACTIVITY.

- BORROW THE TOOLS ONLY NEEDED FOR THE ACTIVITY FROM THE
TOOL ROOM.

- MEASURE THE SPLICES OR JOINTS TO GET THE EXACT SIZE OF THE


JOINTS PROVIDED.

- CAREFULLY TWIST THE WIRES USING THE GIVEN MEASUREMENT.

- AVOID GETTING THE SPLICE SCRATCHED OR BEING DAMMAGED.
