1. Make certain end of belts are square.

2. Using crayons or chalk, draw a line on belt 2” from the

end of the belt. This line is the bolt centerline and should be

parallel to squared end of belt.

3. Use end plate as template and mark location of bolt holes

on the centerline all the way across width of belt.

For maximum splice strength; use as many Dura-Splice sets

as possible across full width of belt, making certain the Dura-

Splice units are positioned no closer than 1/4” from edge of

belt or no farther away than 1” from belt’s edge.

4. Drill, or punch out holes marked on bolt centerline with

1/2” drill bit or punch .

5. Clamp belt ends together securely and using the

punched belt as a template, mark and punch holes in other

end of belt.

6. Assemble the Dura-Splice units into belt and tighten all

bolts to 75 foot pounds with a torque wrench.

(This is important to insure maximum splice strength)

7. After ffteen minutes of running time, re-tighten all bolts

again to 75 foot pounds.

8. Your Dura-Splice installation is fnished! You have a

super-strong elevator splice that will give many years of

service with minimum maintenance.

9. When reinstalling the Dura-Splice, always use a new bolt

and nut assembly. Contact Tapco for replacement parts.
