Pacer TBSDE14-18-500 Blue Heat Shrink Step-down Butt Splices - 500 Pack

Blue Heat Shrink Step-Down Butt Splices - 22-18 AWG to 16-14 AWG - 500 Pack

In electrical applications, there are times when you need to connect differing gauge wires or multiple wires together. The blue heat shrink step-down butt splices allow for just that, providing reliable connections across a range of wire sizes.

These heat shrink butt splices come with an adhesive liner for excellent moisture protection even in the toughest environments. This creates a strong and sealed connection for wires ranging from 18 AWG to 14 AWG, safeguarding against physical damage, water intrusion, corrosion, and other harmful compounds.

Step-down butt splices enable connections like joining a 10 AWG wire to a 12 AWG or linking two 12 AWG wires together. Properly strip the wires, insert them into the splice, and crimp securely. Ensure that the splice and wire insulation are in contact to maintain connection integrity. After crimping, perform a tug test to ensure robustness before applying heat to activate the shrink tubing.

These splices are efficient to install and designed for long-lasting connections, making them superior to other connection methods in terms of reliability and protection against the elements.
