Value Collection BD-18396 Nylon Wire Disconnect 18-12 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-18396 is a nylon-insulated wire disconnect designed for making and breaking electrical connections in low-voltage wiring applications. The partial insulation sleeve provides a grip point and basic protection at the terminal end while keeping the connection accessible for fast field terminations. Rated for 18 to 12 AWG wire, this disconnect is suitable for general electrical, HVAC control wiring, and light commercial panel work. It carries both UL Listed and CSA Certified ratings, meeting the standards most jurisdictions require for installed wiring components. Each package contains 25 pieces.

This wire disconnect is used in residential and light commercial applications wherever a quick-connect or quick-disconnect terminal is needed. Common install scenarios include HVAC control boards, thermostat wiring, appliance wiring harnesses, and electrical panel accessories. The 18-12 AWG compatibility covers the most common low-voltage and light-load control wire gauges encountered in field service work. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and appliance service pros typically keep these on hand as a standard consumable.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed electrician or HVAC technician. Always de-energize the circuit at the breaker or disconnect switch and verify with a meter before terminating or removing any wire disconnect. Use a calibrated wire stripper to prepare conductors and a proper ratcheting crimping tool rated for the terminal type to ensure a secure, low-resistance crimp. Follow NEC guidelines for terminal and conductor sizing when selecting wire gauge and connector combination.
