Installation & Usage

1. Strip conductors to specified 1-3/8 inch length ensuring clean, square cuts without nicking strands
2. Insert first conductor into splice barrel until it reaches the solid center stop, ensuring full insertion
3. Insert second conductor from opposite end until both conductors meet at center stop position
4. Select appropriate compression tooling based on die index markings (297 or 296) and conductor combination
5. Apply compression crimps at marked locations using proper die set and recommended number of crimps
6. Verify completed connection integrity and conductor retention before energizing circuit
