WireGard Red Connectors 125 Count

Gardner Bender 16-006 wire cap connectors come in a 125-count jar for electricians and DIY installers splicing copper wire. The red colour coding identifies the large size that joins 18 AWG through 10 AWG conductors.

Thermoplastic Shell Deep Skirt

A tough thermoplastic shell shields connections against environmental extremes while the deep skirt prevents bare wire exposure. Threads engage immediately for positive continuity, tighten without ratcheting, and remain removable for re-use.

Upgrades From Basic Twist Caps

Replaces unlisted twist-on connectors that lack UL 486C listing and CSA certification. The jump is worth it when Federal Specification W-5-610d compliance and superior flash-over protection are required for inspected work.

Questions about this item

What wire-gauge range does the red connector accept?

The red cap joins solid or stranded copper from 18 AWG up to 10 AWG, with a minimum combination of two 14 AWG and a maximum of two 10 AWG plus two 12 AWG.

How much space does the deep-skirt shell add behind the connection?

The extended skirt covers more bare conductor than standard caps, so allow extra clearance in tight boxes or conduit bodies.

Do I need to pre-twist the wires before screwing on the cap?

No — the internal spring threads onto straight conductors immediately; just push the stripped ends in and twist the connector until firm.
