Splicing Two Braided Ropes Together

A back end splice is especially useful for preventing a rope that has become unraveled from fraying.

Splicing two braided ropes together. In this video i show you how to splice 2 pieces of rope together. The ropes yield excellent strength from the fibers and the splices weaken the ropes hardly at all. You can use this same splice to fasten two different ropes together too. A splice is a way of terminating a rope or joining two ends of rope together without using a knot.

This is a vital technique for anyone working regularly with rope. This splice will securely keep the rope together. Premiumropes has uploaded various splicing tutorials such as eye splices soft shackles taper sheets or make a continuous furler line. Fold it in half and tape the ends together.

You can get one from the scrap pile at any rigging shop. Splice terminations are used in all our ropes to determine new and unused tensile strengths. Knots can significantly decrease a ropes strength while in most cases splicing maintains 100 of the specified rope strength. Simply use the end of a separate rope instead of using one end of the same rope which is the example provided here.

Apart from being bulky and unsightly even a correctly tied knot can cause significant loss of strength to a rope. They make their own from the center strand of 1 19 rigging wire you need a piece 18 or so long. Extract and mark cores per step 2 of eye splice directions. Tie slip knots on each end as per previous directions.

These fibers encouraged the development of the loosely woven hollow braid ropes in which the fiber alignment maximized strength. Make sure that the fold is a sharp 180 turn the closer together the two wires the easier it will be on the second fid pass. Mark extract mark the two ends in the same manner as step 1 of the double braid eye splice directions. These ropes require suitable splicing techniques such as the brummel and long bury.

The most secure way to connect two ropes is to splice them together. Use 1 short fid length as the measurement from a to b to replace the eye size. Splicing modern braided ropes of super fibres is quite fun and easy to learn.
