Cold Splice Wire Tap (UB) - 10 pack

Say goodbye to the old days of heat - shrink, melted wire jackets, and awkwardly - used tools. These snap - on plastic cold splices offer a super - fast way to make electrical connections. They work perfectly with any 22 - 26 AWG solid core wire. Just slide the wires into the plastic splice until they reach the metal teeth, then use parallel - jaw or slip joint pliers to squeeze it down. Avoid using needle - nose pliers as they don't have enough force. We also recommend using a panavise for a better squeeze. This is a wire - tap splice. You can place one half over an existing 22 - 26 AWG solid - core wire and tap into it with another wire. It's a hassle - free alternative to the complicated cut - solder method. The splices come with a bit of silicone jelly to prevent oxidation, making them somewhat weatherproof, though not waterproof. Each pack contains 10 pieces, so keep them in your drawer for handy use anytime.

Using these cold splice wire taps is a breeze. First, make sure you have 22 - 26 AWG solid core wires. Slide the wires into the plastic splice until they hit the metal teeth inside. When it comes to squeezing, use parallel - jaw or slip joint pliers. Needle - nose pliers won't work well, so stay away from them. You can also use a panavise for a more secure squeeze. For the wire - tap function, place one half of the splice over an existing 22 - 26 AWG solid - core wire and then insert another wire to tap into it. Remember, these splices are only somewhat weatherproof because of the silicone jelly inside, not waterproof. So, try to keep them away from heavy rain or long - term exposure to water. To maintain them, just keep them in a dry place in your drawer when not in use. This way, they'll be ready for your next electrical project.
