At the last space before the Double Loop Edge,
gently bend the splicing strand in the center
of the last space.
Insert the end of the splicing strand into the
double loop edge (small space) on the near side.
You will need to rotate the wire to feed the DLE
through the space.

Flex the belt by pushing down in center of last
row of spaces
Rotate splicing strand so you can push the end
up from underneath the last space on far edge.
Hook DLE over last large space Z-bend.

Connect the splice strand edge hook to the near
side loop edge using pliers.
Diagram
E
Connect the far side loop edge by hooking it into
the splice strand using pliers.
Connect the opposite edge of the belt in the same
manner only in mirror image.
Straighten any bends in wire strands.
Reminder
You may need to rotate splicing strand to thread it
around the Z-bends. However, try to avoid bending
any strand at the Z-bend itself. You may bend the
strand in the center of the large space or may flex
the belt by pushing down in the center of the last
row of spaces to create enough "slack" to
weave the DLE into place.
Note: Double Loop Edges are only available in
wire diameters up to .050 inches.
