    Splice Type

    Wire Connection Method

    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.

    Covers

    Lay the main wire into your tap on the first try instead of poking and threading. The tap wire connects parallel to the tap or at 90°, so the tap will slide into your setup at different angles. Strip both wires and slide off the screw plate before installation. Tighten the set screws onto both wires for a secure connection.
    Covers—These covers fully insulate the tap so moisture can't reach the wire. They snap shut so you don't have to tape them down.
