Value Collection BOW-23860 Butt Splice Terminal 8 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23860 is a fully insulated, heat shrink butt splice terminal designed for making secure inline wire connections on 8 AWG conductors. The terminal uses a crimp-on connection method, which delivers a reliable mechanical and electrical bond without soldering. The insulation sleeve is constructed from polyolefin heat shrink material, which contracts when heated to form a tight, moisture-resistant seal over the crimped joint. This type of terminal is commonly installed by electricians, HVAC technicians, and equipment service professionals where a clean, insulated inline splice is required in wiring harnesses or field wiring runs.

This butt splice terminal is suited for use in residential and light commercial electrical applications, including HVAC control wiring, panel sub-feeds, appliance wiring repairs, and general electrical service work. The heat shrink sleeve provides added protection in environments where the splice may be exposed to moisture, vibration, or abrasion. The pink color coding corresponds to the 8 AWG wire gauge range, making it easy to identify the correct terminal during installation.

Key Features

• Fully insulated design with heat shrink polyolefin sleeve for moisture and abrasion resistance
• Crimp-on connection type — no soldering required
• Rated for 8 AWG wire gauge
• Pink color coding for quick gauge identification at 8 AWG
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp-on butt splice terminal for use with 8 AWG insulated copper conductors in residential and light commercial wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires a ratcheting wire crimper or approved crimp tool sized for 8 AWG terminals. De-energize all circuits before making any splice connections and verify the circuit is locked out per applicable NEC requirements. After crimping, apply heat evenly along the sleeve using a heat gun until the polyolefin shrinks fully around the wire jacket. Inspect the finished splice for full insulation coverage and a secure mechanical crimp before re-energizing.
