Value Collection BOW-71417M Crimp Bullet Connector 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-71417M is a crimp-style bullet connector designed for splicing and terminating 16 to 14 AWG wire in automotive, marine, HVAC, and general electrical wiring applications. The connector features a 0.18-inch bullet diameter and is insulated with blue heat shrink polyolefin, which forms a tight, moisture-resistant seal over the crimp joint when heat is applied. This type of connector is installed by electricians, automotive technicians, and HVAC service professionals who need a reliable inline connection or branch termination in low-voltage wiring harnesses.

This bullet connector is suited for residential and light commercial wiring tasks where a clean, insulated crimp termination is required. The blue heat shrink sleeve identifies the 16 to 14 AWG wire gauge range at a glance, allowing for fast sorting on the job. Typical installation scenarios include low-voltage control wiring, sensor leads, and accessory circuits in vehicles, equipment, and HVAC systems.

Key Features

• Blue heat shrink polyolefin insulation provides a moisture-resistant seal after activation
• 0.18-inch bullet diameter for consistent mating with standard bullet receptacles
• Compatible with 16 to 14 AWG wire for versatile use across common wire gauges
• Crimp connection type eliminates the need for soldering in the field
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement or general-use crimp bullet connector suitable for 16 to 14 AWG wiring applications across automotive, marine, HVAC control, and general electrical harness work.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by qualified electricians or technicians using a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool rated for insulated connectors in the 16 to 14 AWG range. Always de-energize the circuit before terminating or splicing any wiring. After crimping, apply heat evenly to the shrink sleeve using a heat gun until the insulation conforms fully to the wire and connector body. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for wire termination in the system being serviced.
