Value Collection BOW-998735 Crimp Bullet Connector 16-14 Awg

Product Description

The VALUE COLLECTION BOW-998735 is a crimp-style bullet connector designed for splicing and terminating 16 to 14 AWG wire. The connector features a blue heat shrink polyolefin insulation sleeve that shrinks over the wire barrel when heat is applied, creating a secure, moisture-resistant seal around the crimp joint. The 0.176-inch bullet diameter provides a snug mating connection. This type of connector is commonly installed by electricians, automotive technicians, marine service pros, and HVAC technicians when making reliable, insulated wire terminations in control wiring, low-voltage circuits, and general electrical applications.

This bullet connector is suited for residential and light commercial wiring applications where a clean, insulated crimp termination is required on 16 or 14 AWG conductors. Typical use cases include HVAC control wiring, appliance wiring, automotive electrical repair, and trailer or marine harness work. The heat shrink sleeve adds protection against moisture ingress and vibration-induced wear, making it appropriate for installations exposed to the elements or engine compartment conditions. Sold individually, with a minimum order quantity of 25 units.

Key Features

• Crimp connection type for fast, reliable termination without solder
• Compatible with 16 to 14 AWG wire sizes
• 0.176-inch bullet diameter for consistent mating fit
• Blue heat shrink polyolefin insulation provides moisture resistance after activation
• RoHS compliant construction

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style crimp bullet connector for use with 16 to 14 AWG wire in general electrical, HVAC control, automotive, and marine wiring applications.

Installation Notes

Installation requires an appropriate ratcheting crimp tool rated for insulated terminals in the 16 to 14 AWG range. Strip wire insulation to the correct length before inserting the conductor fully into the connector barrel, then apply the crimp. After crimping, apply heat evenly using a heat gun until the polyolefin sleeve has fully shrunk and adhesive has sealed around the wire jacket. Always de-energize the circuit before making any terminations.
