Gardner Bender 25-003 Wire Connector 22 Awg to 14 Awg 25-pack

Product Description

The GARDNER BENDER 25-003 is a small orange twist-on wire connector rated for 22 AWG to 14 AWG copper conductors, sold in a 25-pack. The thermoplastic shell is color-coded orange and built to handle environmental stress without cracking or degrading. A deep skirt design keeps bare wire concealed after the connection is made, reducing flash-over risk. The interior threading grabs wire immediately on contact, creating a firm, low-resistance splice that maintains positive continuity. These connectors are UL 486C listed and CSA certified, and they comply with Federal Specification W-5-610d. Electricians and maintenance technicians reach for these on residential, commercial, and light industrial wiring tasks.

The 25-003 connector is suited for splicing copper-to-copper conductors in junction boxes, fixture wiring, outlet and switch connections, and general branch-circuit work. The 25-pack quantity is practical for service calls and panel or device rough-in work where multiple connections are made in a single visit. The orange color coding allows quick gauge identification on the job, reducing the chance of using the wrong connector size for the conductor combination at hand.

Key Features

• Rated for 22 AWG to 14 AWG copper-to-copper splices
• Color-coded orange thermoplastic shell for quick gauge identification
• Deep skirt design prevents bare wire exposure and reduces flash-over risk
• Threads wire immediately on contact for fast, firm-grip connections
• UL 486C listed and CSA certified

Compatibility

Designed for copper-to-copper wire splicing applications using conductors ranging from 22 AWG to 14 AWG, suitable for standard residential and commercial branch-circuit wiring in junction boxes and device connections.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by a licensed electrician or qualified technician in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize and lock out the circuit at the panel before making or disturbing any wire connections. Strip conductors to the appropriate length, hold wires parallel, and twist the connector clockwise until firm resistance is felt. Do not use these connectors on aluminum conductors.
