22-18 AWG Crimp Butt Splices
These 3M nylon-insulated butt splices accept stranded wire from 22 to 18 AWG and are crimped with a standard hand tool. The brazed seam barrel prevents the connector from splitting under tension. A pack of 1000 pieces suits high-volume automotive, marine and industrial wiring jobs. The red insulation colour codes the wire range for quick identification on the bench.
Replaces loose twist-and-tape joints
Crimped splices eliminate the intermittent contact and corrosion that develop in taped or solderless twist connections. The upgrade is worth it whenever a circuit sees vibration, moisture or thermal cycling that would degrade a mechanical twist. UL and CSA listings confirm the connector meets recognised safety standards for permanent installations. No soldering iron or heat gun is required to complete the joint.
Holds 600 V at 221 °F continuously
The brass barrel and nylon insulation are rated for 600 volts and a maximum operating temperature of 221 degrees Fahrenheit. Brazed seam construction maintains electrical integrity and mechanical strength during prolonged thermal stress. The 1.0 inch overall length and 0.07 inch barrel inside diameter keep the finished splice compact inside conduit or loom. Not suited for wire gauges larger than 18 AWG or applications above the rated voltage and temperature.

Questions about this item
What wire gauge range does the 22-18 AWG butt splice accept?
The connector accepts solid or stranded wire from 22 AWG up to 18 AWG, matching the barrel inside diameter of 0.07 in.
Which crimp tool setting or die should I use for the brazed-seam barrel?
Use a ratchet crimper with a red-die nest sized for 22-18 AWG nylon-insulated splices; one full cycle seats the brazed seam without splitting the barrel.
How often should the nylon-insulated splices be inspected in a 221 °F engine-bay environment?
Check for insulation discolouration, brittleness or cracking at each scheduled service interval; replace any splice showing heat damage to maintain the 600 V rating.
