1
step
Tape the ends of the ropes to be
spliced. Lay Ropes A and B side-by-
side and measure 1-1/2 tubular fid
lengths, (if using a wire fid, measure
3 fid lengths because wire fids are
half size) from the taped end of
each line and make Mark 1.
1 A
2 A
From Mark 1, measure
1-3/4 fid lengths and make
Mark 2 on both ropes.
2
step
At Mark 1, pull out half the strands (3 “S” and 3 "Z") by rotating
around the rope, pulling out strands in the pattern shown:
Z Strands = counter clockwise twist
S Strands = clockwise twist
This should leave 6 strands still braided down the middle.
Tightly tape the ends of the 6 individual strands, and the
end of the remaining braided portion.
On 1 side you should have 2 S and 1 Z
and on the other side, 2 Z and 1 S.
The Tuck-Bury splice is designed as a short splice for Class II 12-strand ropes only.
