Value Collection BOW-71815F Crimp Bullet Connector 20-18 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-71815F is a crimp-style bullet connector designed for splicing and terminating 20 to 18 AWG wire. The connector features a 0.157-inch bullet diameter and is insulated with red heat shrink polyolefin, which forms a tight environmental seal when heated. This hardware is installed by electricians, automotive technicians, HVAC technicians, and other trade professionals who require a secure, low-profile wire termination in control wiring, sensor circuits, or low-voltage applications. The crimp connection eliminates soldering and provides a reliable, vibration-resistant joint when installed with a proper ratcheting crimp tool.

This connector is suited for residential and light commercial applications where 20 to 18 AWG conductors need to be joined or terminated with a bullet-style interface. Common install scenarios include HVAC control circuit wiring, appliance harness repair, and low-voltage electrical panel wiring. The red insulation color serves as a standard visual indicator for this wire gauge range, aiding quick identification during service work.

Key Features

• Accepts 20 to 18 AWG wire for a broad range of low-voltage control applications
• 0.157-inch bullet diameter provides a compact, secure mating connection
• Heat shrink polyolefin insulation creates an environmental seal over the crimp joint
• Red insulation color follows standard color-coding for this AWG range
• Crimp connection type eliminates soldering for faster, repeatable terminations
• RoHS compliant materials

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style replacement and general-use crimp bullet connector for 20 to 18 AWG wire terminations in low-voltage electrical, HVAC control, and appliance wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a qualified electrician or licensed trade professional following applicable NEC guidelines. De-energize the circuit completely before terminating or splicing any conductors. Use a calibrated ratcheting crimp tool sized for insulated connectors in this AWG range to ensure a full, consistent crimp. After crimping, apply heat evenly to the insulation sleeve with a heat gun until the polyolefin shrinks uniformly around the wire and connector barrel.
