Value Collection BD-18300 Butt Splice Terminal Nylon Red 50

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18300 is a fully insulated, crimp-on butt splice terminal designed to join two wire ends in a single secure connection. The nylon insulation sleeve provides dielectric protection around the crimp joint, helping protect against shorts and abrasion in finished wiring runs. The copper contact body is plated with titanium nitride (TiN) for corrosion resistance at the contact interface. This terminal accepts one wire entry from each end for a total of two conductors and is color-coded red to indicate its wire gauge range. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and low-voltage installers use butt splices like this one when making in-line wire repairs, harness extensions, or permanent field splices.

The BD-18300 is suited for residential and light commercial electrical work, panel wiring, HVAC control wiring, and general low-voltage applications where a fully insulated, crimp-type splice is required. The red color coding corresponds to the standard wire gauge range for red-coded terminals. Each package contains 50 terminals, making it practical for service vans and bench stock. The crimp-on design eliminates solder and heat-shrink steps, keeping installation time low in the field.

Key Features

• Fully insulated nylon sleeve for dielectric protection and abrasion resistance
• Crimp-on connection — no soldering or heat source required
• Copper contact body with TiN plating for corrosion resistance
• Two-entry design joins two wire ends in a single terminal
• Red color coding for quick gauge identification at installation
• Sold in a 50-piece package for bench stock or service kit restocking

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp-type butt splice terminal for use in low-voltage control wiring, residential electrical circuits, and general wire repair applications where a fully insulated, red-coded terminal is specified.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or trained technician following applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before making any splice connection. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for insulated terminals to achieve a full, consistent crimp — an incomplete crimp is a common cause of high-resistance joints and terminal pullout. Inspect the nylon sleeve after crimping to confirm no cracking or deformation that could compromise insulation integrity.
