Value Collection BD-23970 Quick Splice Connector 12-8 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BD-23970 is a motor stub splice insulator quick splice connector designed to join and insulate wire terminations in electrical and HVAC motor wiring applications. Rated for 12 to 8 AWG wire, this connector provides a fast, tool-light method of splicing motor stub leads without requiring soldering or heat shrink. The black insulating body covers the splice point and helps prevent accidental contact with adjacent conductors or metal enclosure surfaces. Each package contains 5 connectors. This type of connector is commonly installed by HVAC technicians and electricians during motor replacement or repair work on blower motors, condenser fan motors, and similar single-phase induction motors.

Motor stub splice insulator connectors are used wherever a replacement motor's lead wires must be joined to existing field wiring inside an air handler, furnace cabinet, condensing unit, or other electrical enclosure. The 12 to 8 AWG range covers most residential and light commercial motor stub lead gauges. These connectors are well suited for situations where a clean, insulated splice is needed inside a tight cabinet with limited working room.

Key Features

• Accepts 12 to 8 AWG wire for compatibility with common motor stub lead gauges
• Motor stub splice insulator terminal type provides an insulated covering over the splice junction
• Black color aids visual identification of insulated splice points during inspection
• Quick splice design reduces installation time compared to soldered or crimped terminations
• Sold in a 5-piece package to cover a typical service call or motor swap

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement connector for use with 12 to 8 AWG motor stub leads in residential and light commercial electrical and HVAC motor wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified HVAC technician. Always shut off and lock out power to the unit before working on motor wiring, in accordance with NFPA 70E lockout/tagout requirements. Confirm wire gauge compatibility before seating the connector, and ensure the splice is fully seated and the insulator body is fully closed before restoring power. Do not use damaged or deformed connectors.
