Value Collection BOW-23822 Ring Terminal 22-18 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23822 is a partially insulated circular ring terminal designed for crimp-style wire connections in electrical wiring applications. The terminal accepts wire sizes from 22 to 18 AWG and features a copper contact for reliable conductivity. A red polyolefin heat-shrink insulation sleeve provides partial protection at the barrel, helping to identify wire gauge range at a glance and offering basic mechanical protection at the connection point. This type of terminal is a standard component in control wiring, panel builds, and low-voltage circuit terminations across HVAC, electrical, and industrial applications.

This ring terminal is suited for use in residential and commercial electrical panels, control boards, and equipment wiring harnesses where a secure screw or stud termination is required. The number 8 stud size makes it compatible with common machine screws and terminal blocks used throughout the trades. Electricians and panel technicians typically install these terminals during new construction, equipment retrofits, and service work where wire ends need a clean, code-acceptable ring-style termination.

Key Features

• Crimp connection type for fast, reliable wire termination without soldering
• Accepts 22 to 18 AWG wire, covering common control and signal wire sizes
• Copper contact material for solid electrical conductivity
• Red polyolefin heat-shrink partial insulation for color-coded AWG identification
• Number 8 stud size fits standard machine screws and terminal block studs
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp ring terminal for use with 22 to 18 AWG copper conductors and number 8 studs or screw terminals in electrical panels, control wiring, and equipment harness applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified technicians. De-energize the circuit and verify absence of voltage before terminating any wire. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for the terminal and wire gauge to ensure a secure, gas-tight crimp. Follow applicable NEC requirements for terminal insulation, wire fill, and panel wiring methods.
