How to Use

  1. Prepare Your Wires: Cut and strip the wires to the appropriate length, ensuring the insulation is removed correctly.
  2. Insert Wires: Place the stripped wire ends into each side of the butt splice, ensuring they reach the internal indentation for a secure fit.
  3. Crimp the Connector: Use the proper crimping tool to secure each side of the butt splice around the wires, creating a solid electrical connection.
  4. Perform a Tug Test: Gently pull the wires to ensure they are firmly connected and won't come loose.
  5. Apply Heat: Use a heat gun or torch to evenly apply heat to the heat shrink tubing, allowing it to contract and form a waterproof seal around the connection.

By following these steps, you'll establish a durable and environmentally protected connection suitable for the rigorous demands of marine applications.
