Cold 2-Wire Splice (UY) - 10 pack

Say goodbye to the days of heat-shrink splicing, melted wire jacketing, and fumbling with third-hand tools. These snap-on plastic cold splices offer a quick and easy way to make connections. They're designed for use with any 22 - 26 AWG solid core wire. Simply slip the wires into the plastic splice until they reach the metal teeth, then use parallel-jaw or slip joint pliers to squeeze them down (don't use needle-nose pliers as they lack the right force). We also find a panavise useful for squeezing. This is a two-way butt splice. Connect two 22 - 26 AWG solid-core wires at once by sliding them in and squeezing. It's a solder-free method for joining multiple wires and is more compact than a three-way splice. The splices contain a bit of silicone jelly to prevent oxidation, making them somewhat weatherproof, though not waterproof. Each pack comes with 10 pieces - keep them handy in your drawer!

Using these cold 2-wire splices is a breeze. First, make sure you have 22 - 26 AWG solid core wire. Slip the wires into the plastic splice until they reach the metal teeth inside. Then, grab parallel-jaw or slip joint pliers and squeeze the splice down firmly. Avoid using needle-nose pliers as they won't provide enough force. You can also use a panavise to help with the squeezing. Remember, this is a two-way butt splice, so you can connect two wires at a time. It's a great solder-free option for joining multiple wires. The splices have a little silicone jelly to stop oxidation, but they're only somewhat weatherproof, not waterproof. Keep them in a dry place when not in use. And since you get 10 pieces in a pack, keep some in your drawer for future needs.
