Overview
|
Oval shaped copper sleeves used in making eye or lap splices in flexible cable. Sleeves are slipped over the two strands of cable to be fastened and are then compressed with special Nicropress hand squeezers. Provides a bond that is even stronger than a standard splice. Plain copper and zinc coated sleeves are used with galvanized cable, and tin coated sleeves are to be used with stainless steel cable.

Reviews
As advertised. Lightening fast shipping. What else is there?
Exactly what I ordered, delivered the day after ordering. Thanks!
The 3/16 sleeves I used worked well. The 3/16 thimble was smaller (tighter radius) than I expected, found a larger one at a hardware store my my application.
Quality item. I use aircraft quality on all my non-aircraft projects because of the better materials and cleaner look.
received as expected, decent price, gets a thumbs up from me.
Used these for years. Still work great. Thank you.
Sleeve failed! I made a 3/16â brake cable for an Aeronca Champ and used the sleeve properly with a thimble. Used the proper swaging tool. One push of the brakes and it failed.
Exactly what I needed. Need to say more? Aircraft Spruce & SPecialty is always reliable and technically accurate.
Great selection and fast service. I got my product the Next day and ready for bussines. I highly recommend their services. Miguel Martinez Ceja AMT student - SAIT Aviation
Q&A
Tin coated sleeves are used with stainless steel cable.
We have several installation tools to choose from. They are on page 775 of the 2013-2014 catalog. 12-12000, 12-12100, 12-12200, 12-12400, 12-00222, 12-02560, and 12-02561 are examples (see accessories). Verify the size tool will work with the sleeve to be used.
The proper cable sleeve swaging procedures are explained and illustrated in the FAA 43.13 acceptable, methods and practices publication.
