Steps to a Proper Installation Process :

1. Select the right terminal product and wire. The lug shall be compatible with the size of the wire being terminated.
   
   
2. Strip insulation from wire so that bare wire is just visible outside of the cable lug or connecter.
   
   
3. Once the insulation is removed make sure all strands of copper are in the terminal barrel.
   
   
4. Use the proper crimp tool and squeeze the tool handle firmly to perform the crimp.
   
   
5. If multiple crimps are required then make first crimp in the barrel nearest the tongue of the lug or wire stop in a butt splice, and make successive crimps in the barrel working towards the conductor entry at the end of the barrel.
   

Note: Proper crimping is the most important element of an overall Installation process. If the correct tools are used and the proper procedures followed, then crimp-on connections becomes more effective electrically, as well as mechanically. A visual inspection should be done which can avoid terminal failure.
