| The
most common cause of landscape lighting system failure is failed
wire splices. At CAST seminars we teach the following soldering
method for making the best possible connections. |
| |
1. Set up Soldering Kit and tote.
(Take care to keep solder pot away from children and use caution
to avoid burns.) |
| To order supplies:
Complete kits and replacement items available from your CAST
Distributor. |
| |
2. Strip wires 1 1/4 in. Take care
not to cut or nick any strands.
CAST
Auto Stripper (CASTRIP1) is recommended. |
| |
3. Twist exposed strands. |
| |
4. Line up all wires and trim to
length if needed. |
| |
5. Twist wires together. |
| |
6. Dip into flux.
|
| |
7. Dip into solder.
|
| |
8. Dip into water. |
| |
9. Trim excess. |
| |
10. Insert into teflon filled wire
nut. |
| |
11. Twist until tight.
You'll
notice that very little force is needed to secure the wire nut
(compared to the the finger-wrenching force needed to tighten
non-soldered wires!) |
|
12. Finished.
These connections will never corrode or fail! |
