Pacer Step-Down Butt Splices w/Blue Heat Shrink - 22-18 AWG to 16-14 AWG - 100 Pack

Ensure reliable and secure electrical connections on your boat with our Step-Down Butt Splices featuring Blue Heat Shrink. Designed specifically for marine environments, these splices provide exceptional protection against moisture, corrosion, and physical damage, making them ideal for all your boating electrical needs.

Durable Marine-Grade Connections

In the demanding conditions of marine applications, connecting wires securely is crucial. Our step-down butt splices allow you to join different gauge wires or multiple wires of the same size with ease. The blue heat shrink tubing not only indicates the wire size (16-14 AWG) but also ensures a robust and environmentally sealed connection that stands up to harsh marine elements.

Superior Protection

These heat-shrink butt splices are engineered to provide the highest level of protection against:

• Water and moisture infiltration
• Salt spray and corrosion
• Physical abrasion and vibration
• Environmental contaminants

The adhesive liner within the heat shrink tubing creates a durable barrier, safeguarding your electrical connections from the toughest marine environments.

Easy Installation

1. Strip the wires to the appropriate length, ensuring the wire insulation touches the butt splice.
2. Insert the stripped wire into one side of the butt splice and crimp securely using the proper tool.
3. Add the additional wires to the other side of the splice and crimp firmly.
4. Perform a tug test to confirm the connection is secure.
5. Apply heat evenly to the shrink tubing, starting from the center and moving outward to avoid damaging the splice or insulation.

Following these steps ensures a strong and reliable connection that can withstand the rigors of marine use.

Key Features

• Moisture Protection: Seals out water, condensation, and corrosive elements.
• Vibration Resistance: Maintains connection integrity in high-vibration environments.
• Strain Relief: Reduces stress on the wires, preventing accidental disconnections.
