Double Wrap Application
Step 1
- Cut wire to length (4 times around project plus 12" for tool)
- Fold wire in half, tape or wire nut ends together
- Wrap around hose where you want a clamp
- Tuck ends through the loop
Step 2
- Continue to wrap around in the same direction; tuck thru loop again and remove tape or wire nut
- Place tool as shown with wire over front pin and around rear pin
- Twist ends together tightly about 6 twists as close to the body of the tool as possible
Step 3
- Place notch at end of tool against the wire loop
- Turn wing nut clockwise to tighten (right hand threads)
