Value Collection BOW-71817M Crimp Bullet Connector 20-18 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-71817M is a crimp-style bullet connector designed for 20 to 18 AWG wire terminations in low-voltage wiring applications. The connector features a red heat shrink polyolefin insulation sleeve that provides a secure, moisture-resistant seal when properly installed. The bullet diameter measures 0.18 inches, making it suited for compact connector arrangements in tight wire harness assemblies. Electricians and low-voltage technicians use these connectors when a reliable, inline bullet-style termination is needed for automotive, HVAC control wiring, or general electrical harness work.

This connector is appropriate for residential and light commercial wiring tasks where 20 to 18 AWG conductors require a clean, insulated inline or pigtail bullet termination. Typical applications include HVAC control circuit wiring, thermostat wiring splices, automotive harness repairs, and general electrical panel or accessory wiring where a heat shrink bullet connector is the specified termination method. The red color coding aligns with standard industry color-coding for the 20 to 18 AWG wire gauge range, helping technicians quickly identify the correct connector size during installation.

Key Features

• Crimp termination method for fast, reliable wire connections without solder
• Red heat shrink polyolefin insulation sleeve provides moisture resistance and strain relief
• 0.18 inch bullet diameter suits compact inline connector applications
• Compatible with 20 to 18 AWG wire for flexible use across multiple gauge sizes
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp bullet connector for use with 20 to 18 AWG conductors in low-voltage electrical and control wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation is performed by licensed electricians or qualified low-voltage technicians using a ratcheting crimp tool sized for insulated bullet connectors. Strip the conductor to the appropriate length before inserting into the connector barrel and apply a full crimp before activating the heat shrink sleeve with a heat gun. De-energize all circuits before making or breaking any wiring connections. Follow applicable NEC guidelines for connector selection and wire gauge compatibility.
