Value Collection BOW-23835 Fork Terminal Red 6 8 Stud Crimp

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23835 is a standard fork terminal designed for secure, low-resistance wire terminations in electrical wiring applications. The terminal uses a crimp connection method paired with a partially insulated polyolefin heat-shrink sleeve in red, which provides basic insulation protection at the barrel while leaving the stud-entry area open for visual inspection and easy installation. Compatible with number 6 and number 8 stud sizes, this terminal is a staple in control wiring, panel building, and field wiring tasks. Electricians and panel technicians reach for this style of terminal when connecting stranded or solid conductors to bus bars, grounding points, or equipment terminals where a fork-style lug is required.

This fork terminal suits residential and light commercial electrical work, including control panel wiring, HVAC low-voltage circuits, and general equipment hookups where a reliable mechanical crimp termination is needed. The red color coding indicates wire gauge range per standard terminal color convention, helping technicians sort and identify conductors quickly during installation or troubleshooting. The partially insulated design allows the terminal to seat flush against a stud or lug strip without insulation buildup interfering with the connection point.

Key Features

• Crimp connection type for fast, consistent terminations without soldering
• Partially insulated polyolefin sleeve in red for gauge identification and barrel protection
• Accepts number 6 and number 8 stud sizes for versatile mounting applications
• RoHS compliant construction
• Fork-style lug allows installation and removal without fully removing the stud fastener

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or new-installation fork terminal for use with number 6 and number 8 stud connections in standard residential and commercial electrical wiring and control panel applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified technicians following NEC guidelines. De-energize all circuits completely before terminating or replacing wiring connections. Use a calibrated ratchet crimping tool rated for the applicable wire gauge and terminal style to achieve a proper mechanical crimp. Inspect the crimped barrel for deformation or cracking before securing the fork to the stud.
