Gardner Bender 20-121 Red Butt Splice 22 Awg to 16 Awg 22-pack

Product Description

The GARDNER BENDER 20-121 is a red insulated butt splice connector rated for 22 AWG to 16 AWG wire. Butt splices create a fast, secure, in-line connection between two wire ends, making them a standard component in electrical panel work, fixture wiring, appliance repair, and HVAC low-voltage circuit terminations. The red color coding identifies the 22-to-16 AWG range at a glance. This 22-pack is suited for service vans and job-site electrical kits where multiple terminations are routine. The connector is UL listed and CSA approved, meeting the certification requirements for residential and light commercial electrical work.

Insulated butt splices in the 22-to-16 AWG range see frequent use in HVAC control wiring, thermostat circuit extensions, low-voltage panel connections, and general electrical repair across residential and light commercial applications. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and experienced service pros reach for color-coded splices to speed up termination work while keeping connections organized and traceable during future service calls.

Key Features

• Red color coding identifies the 22 AWG to 16 AWG wire range at a glance
• Insulated barrel protects the splice from contact and moisture exposure
• UL listed and CSA approved for residential and light commercial electrical installations
• 22-pack quantity supports multi-connection jobs and stocking on service vehicles
• In-line butt splice design allows fast, clean wire-to-wire termination without soldering

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp-style butt splice connector compatible with 22 AWG to 16 AWG stranded or solid copper conductors in low-voltage and general wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Butt splice connectors are installed by licensed electricians or qualified HVAC technicians following applicable NEC requirements. Always de-energize the circuit completely before stripping and terminating wires. Use a calibrated wire stripper and a ratcheting crimp tool sized for the AWG range to ensure a gas-tight crimp. Inspect each terminated splice for secure seating before restoring power.
