 Splicing a Flat-Flex® Double Loop Edge

 

Diagram A

Diagram A

At the last space before the Double Loop Edge, gently bend the splicing strand in the center of the last space.
• Insert the end of the splicing strand into the double loop edge (small space) on the near side. You will need to rotate the wire to feed the DLE through the space.

 

Diagram B

Diagram B

• Insert needle nose pliers from underneath, grab the center of DLE on strand and pull up into space.
• Straighten initial bend

 

Diagram C

Diagram C

• Flex the belt by pushing down in center of last row of spaces
• Rotate splicing strand so you can push the end up from underneath the last space on far edge.
• Hook DLE over last large space Z-bend.

 

Diagram D

Diagram D

• Connect the splice strand edge hook to the near side loop edge using pliers.

 

Diagram E

Diagram E

• Connect the far side loop edge by hooking it into the splice strand using pliers.
• Connect the opposite edge of the belt in the same manner… only in mirror image.
• Straighten any bends in wire strands.


REMINDER:
You may need to rotate splicing strand to thread it around the Z-bends. However, try to avoid bending any strand at the Z-bend itself. You may bend the strand in the center of the large space or may flex the belt by pushing down in the center of the last row of spaces to create enough "slack" to weave the DLE into place.

NOTE:
Double Loop Edges are only available in wire diameters up to .050 inches.
