Gardner Bender Wire Connector, Twist-on, 22-16 Awg, Blue, Small, 14-pk.

WireGard™ twist-on wire connectors are designed for general-purpose electrical applications requiring the connection of two or more copper wires. These connectors provide a quick and secure method to splice wires together, making them ideal for a wide range of electrical work from fixture installation to junction box wiring.

The Gardner Bender WireGard connectors feature a straight polypropylene shell with side knurling for comfortable gripping and precise control during installation. The zinc-plated square-wire spring interior makes fast, secure contact with copper wires and ensures connections with positive continuity. These connectors require fewer turns to achieve the required torque, speeding up installation while maintaining reliability. The thermoplastic construction resists heat distortion up to 221 degrees Fahrenheit and protects against chemical degradation from hydrocarbons, diluted acids, and alkaline solutions—making these connectors suitable for outdoor enclosures and challenging environments. The bright blue color coding allows for quick and easy size selection during installation.
