Diversitech DIVE-6241 Tap Splice Connector 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The DIVERSITECH DIVE-6241 is a blue tap splice connector rated for 16 to 14 AWG wire. It allows a technician to add a branch wire to an existing circuit without cutting or interrupting the main line. The connector insulates the joint and holds the splice secure once crimped. HVAC technicians, electricians, and refrigeration service pros use tap splices when adding low-voltage control wiring, thermostat leads, or branch circuits to an existing wire run. The blue color coding identifies the 16 to 14 AWG wire gauge range at a glance, which reduces mis-application on the job.

Tap splice connectors in this gauge range are common in residential and light commercial HVAC installations, particularly when field-wiring control boards, adding accessory connections, or extending existing wire runs inside equipment cabinets or junction boxes. They are also used in electrical panel and appliance wiring where a non-destructive branch connection is needed on a live wire run that will be de-energized during service.

Key Features

• Accepts 16 to 14 AWG wire for both the run wire and the tap wire
• Blue color coding allows fast, accurate gauge identification in the field
• No-cut tap design preserves the integrity of the main conductor
• Insulated body protects the splice after crimping
• Compact form factor fits inside standard equipment cabinets and junction boxes

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-purpose tap splice connector suitable for 16 to 14 AWG wire applications in HVAC, refrigeration, and light electrical service work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or HVAC technicians. Always de-energize and lock out the circuit before making any splice connection. Use a proper ratcheting or plier-style crimping tool rated for insulated connectors to ensure a secure, low-resistance joint. Completed splices should comply with NEC requirements for the application, including appropriate enclosure or junction box use where required.
