Gardner Bender 25-001 Wire Connector 22-16 Awg Gray 25-pack

Product Description

The GARDNER BENDER 25-001 is a miniature gray wing nut wire connector rated for 22 AWG to 16 AWG copper conductors, sold in a 25-pack. The thermoplastic shell provides high dielectric insulation and is designed with a deep skirt to prevent bare wire exposure and reduce flash-over risk. The firm-grip exterior wings allow fast, tool-free terminations by hand. These connectors comply with Federal Specification W-5-610d, are UL 486C listed, and carry CSA certification, making them suitable for residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring work.

These connectors are used wherever quick, secure splices are needed in branch-circuit and low-voltage wiring applications. Typical uses include junction box splices, fixture wiring, switch and outlet connections, and panel tap work. The 22 AWG to 16 AWG range covers most light-gauge copper-to-copper splices encountered in general electrical work. The 25-pack format suits service calls, residential rough-in, and small commercial jobs where a reliable supply of connectors is needed on the bench or in the bag.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified electrical contractors in accordance with the NEC and applicable local codes. Shut off and lock out circuit power at the breaker before making or disturbing any wire connections. Insert conductors fully into the connector and twist clockwise until snug, verifying a firm, pull-resistant joint. Do not use these connectors on aluminum conductors, as they are rated for copper-to-copper connections only.
