Value Collection BD-17174 Male Pigtail Connector 8 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-17174 is a male pigtail connector rated for 8 AWG wire and finished in red for quick polarity and circuit identification. Pigtail connectors of this type provide a pre-terminated lead that splices or integrates into wiring harnesses, control panels, and power distribution assemblies. The red color coding follows standard wiring convention and aids in fast visual identification during installation and service. This connector carries both UL Listed and CSA Certified ratings, confirming it meets widely recognized North American electrical safety standards. Electricians and electrical technicians working on residential, commercial, or light industrial wiring applications are the primary installers.

This male pigtail connector is suited for use in electrical wiring assemblies where an 8 AWG conductor termination is required. Typical applications include control wiring, panel feeds, motor lead connections, and general-purpose branch circuit work where a pre-made pigtail termination simplifies field wiring. The red color designation makes it appropriate for use in applications following standard conductor color coding practices. Sold in a package quantity of five units, making it practical for multi-point installations or service inventory.
