1.

Britannia – This splice is applied in both inside or outside of the building to big solid wire where
twisting is difficult.
2. Scarfed Splice – A splice similar in appearance with that of Britannia only that its ends are
hidden.

3. Ordinary Cross Joint – This is used where two tap conductors are to extend away from branch
conductor in opposite direction from the main through wire.
4. Double Wrapped Cross Joint – This is used in the same manner and reason as the ordinary cross
joint with the advantage of being stronger.

5. Western Union Short Tie – A wire splice widely used or applied inside to building. This splice is
applied only to small solid wires.
6. Western Union Long Tie – A splice which is similar to Western Union Short Tie, only that the
number of twist at the centre and both end are more than compare to short tie.

7. Terminating Fixture Joint – This is used where fixture leads are joining to the end of the branch
or conductor.
8. Through Fixture Joint – This is used where fixture leads are connected to a branch wire at an
immediate point.

9. Split Cable Tap – This is most frequently used where small stranded wire or cable are tap to a
through conductor.

10. Ordinary Cable Wrapped – This is generally used where large stranded wires are tap to a main
or through conductor.

11. Knotted or Loop Tap Joint – This is used in a large solid wire where it is wrap to the large tap
wire around the main wire.

12. Small Aerial Tap Joint – A joint mostly used in location where wires are subject to considerable
movement. The easy twist will facilitate tap wire movement.

13. Multiple Wrapped Cable Splice – Multi strand cables that can be spliced included unshielded
and controls cables.

14. Plain Tap or Tee Joint – This is mostly used in outside work for joining a wire to a trough
conductor. Is used in a large solid wire where it is wrapped to the large tap wire around the
main wire.

15. Duplex Wire Joint – A wire splice used in joining a duplex wire in parallel.
16. Rat Tail Joint - A wire splice mostly used in outlet and junction boxes.
17. Wrapped Tap Cable splice – This is used to a stranded wire joining by wrapping it through the
big solid conductor.
