Ideal WT2-1 Twist-on Wire Connector 300V Blue 100-pack

Product Description

The IDEAL WT2-1 is a standard twist-on wire connector designed for making secure, reliable wire-to-wire connections in electrical systems. Rated at 300 volts with a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees F, this connector uses a flame-retardant housing to reduce fire risk in enclosed junction boxes and panels. The blue color coding indicates compatibility with 3 AWG conductors. Each package contains 100 connectors, making it a practical stock item for electricians working residential or light commercial jobs. The WT2-1 carries UL Listed, UL 486C, UL 774A, CSA C22.2 No. 188, and RoHS certifications.

This connector is suited for residential wiring, commercial electrical rough-in, and maintenance work wherever NEC-compliant solderless wire terminations are required. It is commonly used inside junction boxes, outlet boxes, and panel enclosures to join branch circuit conductors. The 100-piece package quantity makes it well-suited for service trucks and job-site supply. Licensed electricians and experienced maintenance technicians are the typical installers.

Compatibility

Designed for use with 3 AWG conductors. Verify wire gauge and conductor count against the connector's published fill chart before installation to ensure a code-compliant termination.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage with a meter before making or breaking any connection. Strip conductors to the appropriate length per the connector manufacturer's strip gauge, hold wires parallel, and twist the connector clockwise until firm resistance is felt. Do not over-torque or force conductors that exceed the connector's rated fill capacity.
