Panduit PH18-14R-Q Ring Terminal Heat Shrink 22-18 Awg

Product Description

The PANDUIT PH18-14R-Q is a heat-shrink ring terminal designed for reliable wire termination on conductors in the 22 to 18 AWG range. Heat-shrink ring terminals create a secure, insulated connection by combining a crimp barrel with a shrinkable sleeve that seals the termination against moisture and vibration. Electricians and panel technicians use these terminals to terminate control wiring, low-voltage circuits, and equipment grounding conductors where a clean, sealed ring connection to a stud or screw is required. The ring lug configuration allows the terminal to stay in place on a fastener even when the screw is not fully removed.

This terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work, control panel assembly, HVAC low-voltage wiring, and general equipment wiring where insulated ring terminations are specified. The heat-shrink sleeve provides an added layer of protection compared to standard vinyl-insulated terminals, making it a common choice in environments with moisture exposure or mechanical vibration. It is sold individually as a single unit.

Key Features

• Heat-shrink insulation sleeve seals the crimp zone against moisture and vibration
• Accepts 22 to 18 AWG conductors
• Ring lug design stays on stud or screw during service
• Suitable for low-voltage control wiring and equipment termination applications
• Single-unit packaging allows purchase in exact quantities needed

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-install heat-shrink ring terminal for use with 22 to 18 AWG wire in electrical, HVAC control, and light commercial panel applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified technicians following NEC guidelines for termination and insulation requirements. De-energize and lock out the circuit before crimping or heat-shrinking any terminal. Use a ratcheting crimp tool sized for the wire gauge and terminal series, then apply a heat gun evenly around the sleeve until it fully contracts. Do not use an open flame to activate the heat-shrink sleeve.
