Stiffeners Splice
Use the following information to determine the gauge of the splice needed to connect the stiffeners.
Figure 6C Stiffener Splice
Use the following chart to determine the gauge of the splice, which is determined by the gauge of the
stiffeners that are being connected. If connecting a heavier gauge to a lighter gauge stiffener, always use
the heavier gauge splice for the 13 to 12, 8 to 6 and 2 to 0 gauge connections.
For example: If connecting a 13 gauge stiffener to a 12 gauge stiffener, use the 12 gauge splice. If
connecting an 8 gauge stiffener to a 6 gauge stiffener, use the 10 gauge splice. If connecting a 2 gauge
stiffener to a 0 gauge stiffener, use the 8 gauge splice.
