Value Collection BOW-23864 D Shaped Ring Terminal 8 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-23864 is a D-shaped ring terminal designed for secure, low-resistance wire terminations in electrical installations. Built with a copper contact and a partially insulated heat shrink polyolefin sleeve, this terminal accepts 8 AWG wire via crimp connection. The pink color coding aids in quick wire gauge identification on the job. It is suited for electricians and panel technicians working on control wiring, equipment grounding, and circuit terminations where a 3/8 inch stud size is required.

This ring terminal is used in residential and light commercial electrical work, including motor control panels, junction boxes, and equipment wiring. The 3/8 inch stud size fits common bolt patterns on bus bars, terminal blocks, and grounding lugs. The partial insulation with heat shrink polyolefin provides protection at the barrel while leaving the ring exposed for direct bolt or stud contact. Electricians working on service panel wiring and HVAC equipment connections will find this terminal a standard fit for 8 AWG conductors.

• Crimp connection for fast, tool-based installation
• Compatible with 8 AWG wire
• 3/8 inch stud size fits common bus bars and grounding points
• Pink color coding for quick wire gauge identification
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as a standard crimp ring terminal for 8 AWG copper conductors with 3/8 inch stud applications in residential and commercial electrical systems.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician in accordance with the NEC. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or replacing any ring terminal. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for 8 AWG terminals to ensure a proper mechanical and electrical connection. Do not over-insert the wire beyond the barrel stop, and inspect the heat shrink sleeve after crimping for any splits or gaps.
