If the wire insulation has been chafed, or broken, enough to show the conductive portionof the wire, and the wire is not damaged, determine the length of insulation thatneeds to be repaired. If the repair is less than 280-mm (11-in), cut the wire withinthe damaged area. Then slide the appropriate heat shrink tubing (listed below) overthe wire, and repair the wire by splicing the wires together. Refer toSplicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves. Once the wire is spliced together slide heat shrink tubing over the damaged areaand apply heat to seal the repaired wire.

If the wire is damaged, or the damaged area is larger than 280-mm (11-in), then replacethe damaged wire by splicing in a new section of wire. Refer toSplicing Copper Wire Using Splice Sleeves.
