    Split-Bolt Splices

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Splices, Connectors, and Taps. Split-Bolt Splices.
    Slide large wires in and tighten the hex nut for a strong, secure hold between the wire and screw. Loosen the hex to make a quick adjustment or to reuse the splice elsewhere. These splices are easy to use, but the connection isn't fully protected by the body of the splice.

    Low-Profile

    Easy-Grip Wing

    Unlike other twist-on connectors, a silicone filler repels moisture to keep your wire dry and conductive. These connectors twist on and off your wire to save time over crimp-on connectors. You can bury them in soil to power everything from irrigation systems to landscape lights. The connectors have a lower maximum voltage when buried.
    Low-Profile Easy-Grip Wing—Our slimmest twist-on connector is the best fit for crowded outlet boxes and other cluttered areas.
