    Watertight Insulation-Piercing Butt Splices

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Splices, Connectors, and Taps. Watertight Insulation-Piercing Butt Splices.
    A gel filler seals out water to keep your wires completely dry and conductive. No need to strip your wire—insert insulated wires into the splice, then squeeze the button with a crimper or pliers until it clicks. The splice bites through the insulation, so you don't take extra time or risk nicks and cuts from a wire stripper. Snap splices together to create the exact setup you need.

    Style A

    The choice for outdoor electrical panels, HVAC systems, and anywhere you're concerned about moisture. A gel filler repels moisture to keep your wires dry and conductive.
    These connectors bite through insulation, so you save time and avoid damage from a wire stripper. For the most dependable connection, use a crimping tool to squeeze connectors onto your wire.

    Watertight Reducing Insulation-Piercing Butt Splices

    Image of Product. Front orientation. Wire Splices, Connectors, and Taps. Watertight Reducing Insulation-Piercing Butt Splices.
    Connect two components with different wire sizes, such as an air compressor and its control panel. Also known as step-down splices, these splices join a larger wire and a smaller wire end to end. The larger and smaller openings are color coded so you don't have to measure and mark them yourself. You can snap splices together to create the exact setup you need.
    A gel filler seals out water to keep your wires completely dry and conductive. No need to strip your wire—insert insulated wires into the splice, then squeeze the button with a crimper or pair of pliers until it clicks. The splice bites through the insulation, so you don't take extra time or risk nicks and cuts from a wire stripper.
