Gardner Bender 25-006 Wire Connector 18 Awg 25-pack

Product Description

The GARDNER BENDER 25-006 is a large red wire connector designed for making quick, secure electrical splices in copper-to-copper wiring applications. Rated for 18 AWG through 10 AWG wire, the color-coded thermoplastic shell provides high dielectric insulation and a deep skirt design that prevents bare wire exposure after termination. The firm-grip exterior surface allows electricians to seat the connector without slipping, even when working in tight junction boxes or panel enclosures. Each pack contains 25 connectors. Compliance with Federal Specification W-5-610d, UL 486C listing, and CSA certification makes this connector appropriate for use on commercial and residential electrical installations.

These wire connectors are suited for residential and light commercial wiring work where copper-to-copper splices are required. Common applications include junction box splicing, fixture connections, and branch circuit terminations. The large red size accommodates a range of conductor gauges from 18 AWG to 10 AWG, making them versatile across a variety of splice configurations. Licensed electricians and experienced maintenance technicians are the primary installers. The 25-pack quantity suits service call kits and job site supply staging.

Key Features

• Accepts 18 AWG to 10 AWG copper conductors for a broad range of splice configurations
• Tough thermoplastic shell resists environmental extremes and physical damage
• Deep skirt design prevents bare wire exposure and provides superior flash-over protection
• Color-coded large red shell allows fast visual identification during installation
• Firm-grip surface texture enables secure hand tightening without slipping
• UL 486C listed and CSA certified; complies with Federal Specification W-5-610d

Compatibility

Designed for copper-to-copper wire splicing in standard residential and commercial electrical applications where 18 AWG to 10 AWG conductors are used.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians in accordance with the National Electrical Code (NEC). De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage with an appropriate tester before making any wire connections. Strip conductors to the appropriate length, hold the wires together, and thread the connector clockwise until a firm, resistance-indicating stop is felt. Do not use these connectors on aluminum conductors.
