2.1 |
Inner Conductors: |
| |
|
Soft drawn bare copper meeting the requirements
of ASTM specification B-3 or B-8. Insulation shall be low density
high molecular weight polyethylene and a thickness of 0.045",
per Paige Electric specification P7079D. The two conductors
(blue and red) shall be twisted with a minimum lay of 4". |

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). |
