    Compression Butt Splices

    Squeeze these splices onto thicker wire than crimp-on butt splices—up to 4/0 AWG. Check the color coding and wire gauge on the splice to match it with the right compression tool.
    Vinyl Plastic Insulation—Our basic insulation covers the wire to prevent short circuits. It won’t break down from dirt, grime, and occasional twists and tugs.
    Nylon Insulation—In addition to preventing short circuits, this wear-resistant insulation protects wire from vibration and rubbing against nearby edges.
    Double Crimp—The choice for wire that’s frequently pulled, bent, or vibrated. Crimp the splice twice on each end for an extra-strong grip on the wire.

    Reducing Compression Butt Splices

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Splices, Connectors, and Taps. Reducing Compression Butt Splices.
    Connect large wires of different sizes, as thick as 4/0 AWG. Colored stripes differentiate the larger and smaller openings so you don't have to measure and mark them yourself. Check the color coding, wire gauge, and compression die reference number on the splice to match it with the right compression tool.
    With Window—Troubleshoot bad connections without removing your splice. The splice has a cutout where the wires meet, so you can confirm at a glance that they're crimped evenly and haven't loosened.
