SPLICING RECOMMENDATIONS: |
| |
Wire splices are the weak link of any electrical
circuit. It is especially important to make proper joints in irrigation
systems because the joints are exposed to wet and damp environments that
can cause corrosion of the copper conductor, and premature failure.
Paige Electric recommends the strict use of Model DBR/Y-6, as
manufactured by the 3M Company (Paige specification P7364D) |
