Back Splice Rope

Push end through appropriate loop.

Back splice rope.

First pry, then, pull core completely out of cover from point x to the taped rope end. If used in combination with another splice, a whipping isn’t appropriate. It can be used instead of making a whipping.

You can use this same splice to fasten two different ropes together, too. Does increase the diameter of the rope substantially. The end of the rope with the splice is about twice the thickness of the rest of the rope.

The back splice is made to prevent the end of the rope from raveling. Put a single wrap of tape at the bitter end (a fid length equals 21 times the diameter of the rope or 7 times the circumference.) step #2 form the desired eye size and mark the point opposite “a”. Makes a good, neat finish to a line.

When the chain comes up i let off the switch, kneel down, put chain on gypsy, unwrap the rope and carry on. Splice terminations are used in all our ropes to determine new and unused tensile strengths. To make a back splice half as long as described, use half measurements.

The splice is completed by braiding the ends back into the standing strands. Create a secure, locked eye splice in a hollow braid rope. A back splice is the only hollow braid splice which does not “require” a whipping.

With pusher or any sharp tool such as an ice pick, awl, or marlin spike, separate cover strands to expose core. Crown knot & tuck the ends. A back end splice is especially useful for preventing a rope that has become unraveled from fraying.
