What’s special about these Wire Nuts®?

They allow you to connect and twist together 2 wires of various sizes for a safe wire end termination
Fixed inner wire spring creates a secure thread that grips firmly onto the wires and prevents any disconnection
Positive grip provides more leverage and allows easy installation with a tool, or by hand
Available in 5 size-specific colors so you are able to easily identify which wire-nut is needed for your application

Ideal Industries Wire-Nut connectors allow you to safely terminate low voltage wiring in a snap. The tough shell is rated for up to 221°F (105°C) and made of UL94V-0 material to self-extinguish in the event that a spark may break out.
