What is a wire connector?
Wire connectors are used to fasten two electrical wires together. The connector protects the live wire from exposed surfaces and metals. The wire connectors prevent dangerous short circuits and faults. Not to mention, wire connectors come in a lot of colors, materials, and sizes.
**While fastening wires in a wire connector; make sure that the electricity is turned off.
Are wire connectors safe?
Yes, wire connectors are safe. They serve as a protective layer and save the wires from overheating. Moreover, when a wire goes to a connector; the connector shrinks and fastens two wires together; which prevents loss of the wire and connection.
Are these connections weatherproof?
Yes, remember to heat both ends of the sleeve and they will seal water tight.
Could use a small butane or propane torch instead of a heat gun?
Definitely! Just don’t get it too close as you will over melt the shielding.
