Insulated Splices FAQ
1. What types of insulated splices do you carry?
Heat-shrink butt splices, step-down butt splices, parallel splices, and pigtail splices in nylon, PVC, and dual-wall polyolefin with adhesive-lined tubing.
2. Which wire gauges are covered?
Full range from 22–10 AWG (red = 22-18, blue = 16-14, yellow = 12-10). Step-down versions join dissimilar gauges (e.g., 12 AWG to 16 AWG).
3. What temperature and voltage ratings?
105 °C continuous, 600 V max for building wire, and 1,000 V for signs/fixtures per UL 486A-486C.
4. Are these splices UL listed?
Yes—file E520482 covers nylon-insulated and heat-shrink styles; UL mark is printed on the product bag.
5. Nylon vs. PVC vs. heat-shrink—what’s best?
Nylon: highest vibration resistance. PVC: economy indoor jobs. Heat-shrink dual-wall: waterproof IP67 seal with melt-bond adhesive—ideal for marine/automotive.
6. What crimp tool should I use?
A ratcheting full-cycle crimper with color-coded dies (red/blue/yellow). Heat-shrink styles need a “non-insulated + insulated” hex or dimple die.
7. Do heat-shrink splices require adhesive-lined tubing?
Ours include built-in adhesive; simply crimp, then shrink until clear tubing melts adhesive and seals the joint.
8. Shrink ratio?
2:1 for standard dual-wall polyolefin; shrinks at 120 °C, fully recovered by 200 °C.
9. Can I solder instead of crimping?
No—UL listing is for crimp termination only. Solder may wick and create a stress point.
10. Are the splices RoHS / REACH compliant?
Yes—lead-free copper barrels, halogen-free insulation; certification available on request.
11. What barrel material is used?
Seamless electrolytic tinned-copper for corrosion resistance and low resistance (<0.9 mΩ across joint).
12. How much pull-out force do they withstand?
>70 lb for 12 AWG yellow; exceeds UL 486A minimums by 20 %.
13. Can I use them on automotive GPT wire?
Yes—meets SAE J163 standard for primary wire; heat-shrink style adds moisture seal for under-hood or trailer wiring.
14. Do step-down splices derate current?
No—current rating follows the smaller conductor’s ampacity; barrel wall thickness maintains amp capacity.
15. Operating temperature after shrink?
-55 °C to +125 °C once adhesive cures.
16. Bulk pack options?
Installer packs of 50 pcs, trade tubs of 250 pcs, and bulk cartons of 1,000 pcs with tiered discounts.
17. Do you provide assortments?
Yes—120-piece mixed red/blue/yellow kits in a hinged polypropylene box, perfect for service trucks.
18. Lead times & custom colors?
Stock ships same day before 3 PM PT. Custom jacket colors or logo print available on 10k pcs MOQ, 3-week lead.
