under the two collars on the assembled tee
splice run. Allow 5/8” (15,9 mm) to
3/4” (19,1 mm) of one strap to extend

and form the straps around the collar as
illustrated at the right. Follow the same
procedure for the second strap on the same
collar. Push this assembly tight against the
connector.
C.) Push the opposite collar tight against the
opposite connector. Pull both straps toward
the opposite collar to assure a tight
assembly. Cut off the strap 5/8” (15,9 mm) to
