ABSTRACT:
A wire twisting and capping apparatus includes a main body portion which includes a longitudinal axis. A drive element is connected to a first end of the main body portion along the longitudinal axis. Conductor-reception channels are located at a second end of the main body portion. The conductor-reception channels are arranged parallel to the longitudinal axis. A translatable sleeve assembly is supported by the main body portion. The translatable sleeve assembly includes a locking assembly located at a first end of the translatable sleeve assembly. Also, the translatable sleeve assembly includes a main sleeve portion attached to the locking assembly, and the main sleeve portion includes insulator end cap receivers located at a second end of the translatable sleeve assembly for engaging an insulator end cap when the translatable sleeve assembly is translated away from the drive element. The wire twisting and capping apparatus is used for twisting bare ends of a plurality of conductors into an intertwined unitary conductor end structure and for installing an insulator end cap onto the intertwined unitary conductor end structure.
