Ecm Industries Llc 16-086N Twist-on Wire Connector 125 Pack

Product Description

The ECM INDUSTRIES LLC 16-086N is a large, red, twist-on wire connector designed for making secure, insulated wire terminations in electrical wiring applications. Each connector features a flame-retardant polypropylene shell and a square spring steel insert that bites into the conductors for a tight, vibration-resistant connection. Rated at 600 volts, the 16-086N is compatible with 14 to 10 AWG copper wire. The connectors are UL Listed and CSA Approved, meeting the certification requirements for professional electrical installations. This 125-pack ships in a clear jar for easy parts-bin storage and quick identification on the job.

These connectors are used in residential and light commercial electrical work wherever copper conductors need to be joined at a junction box, panel, or fixture connection point. Licensed electricians reach for color-coded twist-on connectors during rough-in wiring, device replacement, fixture installation, and service calls. The red color coding identifies the large size at a glance, reducing sorting time when working through a mixed parts inventory. The clear storage jar keeps the connectors contained and accessible on the truck or at the bench.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with NEC requirements and applicable local codes. Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker and verify absence of voltage with a meter before making or breaking any wire connections. Strip conductors to the appropriate length per the connector manufacturer guidelines, twist conductors together, and apply the connector clockwise until it seats firmly with no bare copper exposed. Do not use on aluminum conductors unless the connector is explicitly rated for aluminum wire.
