Value Collection BOW-23836 Fork Terminal Red Crimp 8 10

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23836 is a standard fork terminal designed for secure electrical connections in low-voltage wiring applications. This partially insulated, crimp-style terminal features a heat-shrink polyolefin sleeve in red, allowing for quick visual identification during installation. It is sized to fit number 8 and number 10 studs, making it a practical choice for panel wiring, control circuits, and general electrical termination work. Licensed electricians and experienced electrical technicians are the primary installers. The crimp connection method provides a reliable, gas-tight bond when applied with the correct tooling.

This fork terminal is suited for residential and light commercial electrical applications where a removable, stud-mounted connection is needed. The forked or spade-style design allows the terminal to be fastened under a screw or stud without fully removing the fastener, saving time during panel or device assembly work. Red color coding indicates compatibility with a specific wire gauge range, supporting organized, code-compliant wiring installations. RoHS compliance makes this terminal appropriate for projects requiring restriction of hazardous substances standards.

Key Features

• Partially insulated with heat-shrink polyolefin sleeve for electrical protection and identification
• Red color coding for fast visual wire gauge sorting during installation
• Crimp connection type delivers a secure, gas-tight termination when properly applied
• Accepts number 8 and number 10 stud sizes for versatile panel and device connections
• RoHS compliant for use on projects with hazardous substance restrictions

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or standard addition for electrical wiring systems requiring number 8 or number 10 stud fork terminals with a crimp connection.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed electrician or qualified electrical technician in accordance with applicable NEC requirements. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or re-terminating any wiring. Use a calibrated crimping tool rated for the terminal and wire gauge being terminated — never substitute pliers for a dedicated crimp tool, as an improper crimp can result in a high-resistance or failed connection. Inspect the insulation sleeve after crimping to confirm the polyolefin has seated correctly over the wire barrel.
