How to Splice Rope | Splicing Methods

Back Splice: The Back Splice provides a quick and convenient way of preventing the end of a three strand rope fraying. A crown knot is formed on the end of the rope and the strands are spliced back into the standing end of the rope.

Demonstration of the Brummel Splice Structure: How the Brummel Splice is constructed.

Create Eye Splice in Hollow Braid Rope: A technique to create a locked eye splce in a hollow braid rope.

Simpler Eye Splice in Hollow Braid Rope: The McDonald technique offers a simpler method to create a locked eye splice in a hollow braid rope.

Button Sling: The Otto Button Sling provides an adjustable sling which is adjusted by inserting the button at one end through the tightest loop along the sling's length.

Chain Splice: The Chain Splice securely attaches a three-stranded rope to an anchor chain using a modified eye-splice. It allows the rope to follow the chain over the windlass and into the chain locker without tangles.

Eye Splice: In three-stranded rope, the Eye Splice creates a secure loop in the end of the rope. It may used, for example, to secure a rope to the bow of a dinghy, or a rope to a bucket handle.

Grog Sling: The Grog Sling creates a loop using hollow braided rope. It employs a Brummel Splice and obviates the need for stitching.

Sliding Splice by Grog: The Sliding Splice makes an adjustable splice suitable for making a yachtsman's belt. It is made by raising loops in alternate strands in a three stranded rope.

Long Bury 12-Strand Rope Splice: How to mark, taper, and thread the end for a Long Bury Splice.

Short Splice: The Short Splice makes a secure join between two pieces of three strand rope.

Soft Shackle: The Soft Shackle employs hollow braided rope to create a strong, light alternative to the standard metal shackle.

Soft Shackle (Edwards): The Edwards Soft Shackle employs hollow braided rope to create an alternative to the standard soft shackle.

Stronger Soft Shackle: The Stronger Soft Shackle employs a Button Knot and buried tails to produces a stronger version of the soft shackle.

Stopper Loop: The Stopper Loop provides an attachment point for a sheet with soft shackle loop at the end.

Whoopie Sling: The Whoopie Sling is an adjustable sling widely used by Arborists and in camping to tension a Hammock..

Advantages of Splicing

A Splice is usually significantly stronger than a knot and is intended to be permanent. Undoing a splice and re-making it takes much more time than doing the same with most knots.

Strength

Careful tapering of the strands, or of the buried end, preserves strength; it ensures a gradual transition of the fiber-alignment in the strands of the standing end. With tapering, a breaking strain approaching 100% of the rope's rated strength is possible - especially with the Brummel and Long Bury techniques.

Exception

The Sliding Splice is the exception. We created it to make a Sailor's Rope Belt – for which it is well suited – and was never intended to take a critical load. Some workers installing electricity cables, however, have reported using the same splice to haul cables through buried pipes.

Appropriate Splicing Techniques

Modern, strong, high modulus fibers are often slippery and cannot be secured with customarily trustworthy knots and splices. These fibers encouraged the development of the loosely woven, hollow braid ropes in which the fiber-alignment maximized strength. These ropes require suitable splicing techniques such as the Brummel and Long Bury. The ropes yield excellent strength from the fibers, and the splices weaken the ropes hardly at all.
