Everything you need to know about splicing

The splice addition in the image is intended for a splice with an eye of up to 40 cm. If a further splice is required, e.g. on the other end, the splice addition must also be taken into account. Otherwise, in the case of a one-ended splice, the opposite end is always whipped. For an eye splice of more than 40 cm in length, an additional 50 cm must be added to the existing splice addition.
Note:
The exact eye length is measured by pulling the eye lengthwise and measuring the distance from left to right (clear dimension).
Please note that a custom-make must be at least 2 metres long. For shorter lengths, please contact our customer service on 0421-572900 or by email to: [email protected].



Cleaning ropes
Please note the following when cleaning/washing polyamide and polypropylene ropes:

• Do not machine wash.
• Do not tumble dry the rope.
• Only wash ropes in a bathtub (only with lukewarm water) and then allow the ropes to drip dry (protected from UV radiation).
• Do not use regular detergent (you can find a possible alternative here).
