Value Collection BOW-23014-H Butt Splice Terminal

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23014-H is a fully insulated, crimp-on butt splice terminal designed to join two wire ends in a single inline connection. The insulation sleeve is constructed from heat-shrink polyolefin, which contracts when heat is applied to form a snug, moisture-resistant seal over the crimp joint. The red color coding indicates the terminal is sized for small-gauge wire applications typical in low-voltage control wiring, automotive, and equipment harness work. Electricians, HVAC technicians, and service professionals use this type of terminal to make clean, reliable splices without solder.

This butt splice terminal is suited for residential and light commercial applications where a durable, insulated inline wire connection is required. Common install scenarios include HVAC control wiring repairs, panel wiring, equipment harness splicing, and general electrical service work. The heat-shrink sleeve provides added environmental protection compared to standard vinyl-insulated terminals, making it appropriate for connections exposed to vibration or moisture.

Key Features

• Fully insulated with heat-shrink polyolefin sleeve for a sealed, moisture-resistant connection
• Crimp-on connection type for fast, tool-based termination without solder
• Red color coding for quick gauge identification during installation
• RoHS compliant construction
• Sold in minimum order quantity of 25 units per package

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use butt splice terminal for crimp-on wire splicing applications in electrical, HVAC, and equipment service work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by electricians or qualified service technicians using a ratcheting or standard wire crimping tool rated for insulated terminals. De-energize all circuits before making or modifying wire connections in accordance with NFPA 70 (NEC) lockout/tagout requirements. After crimping, apply heat evenly along the sleeve with a heat gun to activate the shrink insulation. Do not over-crimp or use pliers in place of a proper crimping tool, as this may damage the terminal or compromise the connection.
