Splicing Flat-Flex XT Belts |
|
|
The use of 1 and 3-space splice clips are recommended for installing Flat-Flex® XT belts. Consult the chart below for the recommended number and combinations of one- and three-space clips to use for the number of spaces across the width of various Flat-Flex® XT belts. These numbers may be different than for classic Flat-Flex.

*Also the required number of sprockets needed. Use one sprocket for every XT (narrow) space.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
If you prefer to use single space clips exclusively, you use the same number of clips as XT spaces - placing the clips only in the XT spaces. |

EZSplice Belt Splicing Instructions |
|
TOOLS REQUIRED:
|
- Safety Glasses
- EZSplice Strand
- EZSplice Profiling Pliers
|
|
STEP 1.
|
|
Diagram A |
Place the EZSplice strand between the two ends of the belt to be joined, matching and aligning the spaces of the strand with the spaces of the belt. Make sure that the cut end of the EZSplice strand is on the bottom. See Diagram A. |
|
|
|
The cut end of the EZSplice strand must be on the bottom |
|
STEP 2.
|
|
Turn the strand over |
Once both ends of the belt are aligned with the spaces in the EZSplice strand, turn the EZSplice strand over and hook both end loops in as shown below. |
| |
|
|
Hook end loop in place. |
| |
|
|
Repeat opposite end. |
|
STEP 4.
|
|
|
|
Once the bottom half is all locked into the appropriate spaces across the width of the belt, turn the EZSplice strand about 1/4 turn or about 90º up as shown to the left. |
| |
|
|
Take the top half of belt and hook the first space over and through the first space of the EZSplice. |
| |
|
|
Repeat every other space until the end of the belt is reached. |
| |
|
 |
Now that the splice is all in place, you are ready to "lock" your EZSplice strand into place with the EZSplice Profiling Pliers. |
|
STEP 5.
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Match bit number to the belt mesh to be spliced |
|
|
Insert the beveled edge of the bit into the jaw slot pushing in with your finger until you hear a click indicating that the bit is locked in place. Make sure to use the correct bit.
|
|
STEP 6.
|
 |
 |
 |
 |
| Repeat every other space till the end is reached. |
|
|
Start in the center of the belt to be crimped, insert the lower jaw of the profiling pliers into the splice strand. Match the splice Z- bend up with the corresponding groove on the lower jaw of the profiling pliers and crimp down. Moving outward insert the lower jaw into the next splicing bend again matching the splice Z-bend up with the corresponding groove on the lower jaw into the next splicing bend again matching the splice Z-bend up with the corresponding groove on the lower jaw of the profiling pliers and crimp down. Repeat until the end of the belt is reached.
