Waterproof Landscape Wire Connectors
Landscape lighting systems can be vulnerable to the elements. Ensure that your connections are waterproof with these high-quality connectors.
Pre-filled with a dielectric silicone sealant that never hardens, these twist-locking waterproof connectors are ideal for landscape lighting and irrigation systems. Corrosion-resistant and easy to install.
The most popular splice kit in the industry, this direct bury kit allows you to connect and seal up to four low voltage fixtures and a home run wire back to your transformer in one step.
Gel-Filled Wire Connectors
Wire connectors are essential when wiring landscape lighting and irrigation systems because they cover the connection point, keeping it safe from environmental contaminants. They can also replace tape, which loses its adhesion landscape wire connectors waterproof over time or becomes damaged by heat or moisture.
These waterproof wire connectors have a gel-filled interior, which protects the electrical connections from moisture. This prevents corrosion and extends the life of the connections, making them ideal for outdoor or underground applications.
Another benefit of gel-filled connectors is their ease of installation. They’re easy to twist on and off and are a great alternative to heat-shrink tubing or soldering.
These waterproof connectors use an insulation displacement contact design to provide fast and simple terminations without any stripping or opening of conductors. They can accept conductors of different gauges and are suitable for butt splicing or load coil splicing. They can also be used in junction boxes and are compatible with WAGO’s 2273 series PUSH WIRE Connectors. The silicone gel prevents water ingress and can be installed underground, indoors, or in wiring ducts.
Waterproof Wire Connectors
Unlike indoor varieties, landscape lighting wire connectors are exposed to Mother Nature and all of the elements that come along with it. Protect your connections with rugged units that offer corrosion-proof materials and an outer shell designed to guard against moisture and other debris. Shop reliable options from reputable brands like Blazing, King Innovation, Paige Electric and more.
Ideal for use with irrigation and low voltage landscape lighting, this direct bury kit offers a watertight seal to keep your wiring protected from moisture, dirt and other environmental elements. The easy-to-use waterproof twist-on connector eliminates the need for heat shrink or excessive tape and is a great time-saver.
Easily connect a maximum of two pre-stripped copper wires in one step with this simple, fast and secure system that makes it possible to solder without exposing conductors to the open air. The pre-filled dielectric silicone sealant never hardens, and the corrosion-proof construction provides a long-lasting waterproof connection. This waterproof solder connector is suitable for both low and high voltage applications, making it a great choice for outdoor landscape lighting, irrigation and general electrical work.
Twist-On Wire Nuts
Often used with low voltage landscape lighting systems, these connectors are available in a range of sizes to accommodate 22-14 gauge wires. They are a convenient alternative to splice kits or other types of direct burial connectors because they don’t require any tools to install.
They are pre-filled with insulation sealing grease and are suitable for use in wet locations. They also resist chemical action from hydrocarbons and dilute acids or alkaline solutions. They have a tough thermoplastic shell that guards against environmental stress and distortion.
Some landscapers prefer the twist-type connector because it is easy to use, and it makes a good connection that prevents corrosion or electrical shorting. Others like a crimp or barrel style connector that uses set screws to hold the wires in place and is then capped with heat shrink tubing. This type of connector is not as easily removed as a twist-on connector, but it does provide a durable and watertight seal. It is also a great choice for direct burial applications because it does not expose bare copper wires to moisture.
Crimp-On Wire Connectors
These waterproof twist-lock connectors are corrosion resistant and perfect for landscaping irrigation and waterproof connector manufacturer outdoor lighting systems. Pre-filled with silicone, they provide a quick install without having to prep the wires beforehand. They’re also great for making wiring extensions in a corrosive saltwater environment.
A revolutionary new way to splice and seal landscape lighting wires, this product is guaranteed the fastest no-hassle installation in the industry. Engineered by King Industry, this groundbreaking junction box makes it possible to splice and seal conductors in one step without using an external tool.
Simply insert the ends of your two wires into the connector housing and apply heat (a butane torch, lighter or heat gun) to the heat shrink tube, which will automatically shrink around the connections, protecting them from moisture, dirt, dust and other environmental elements. This is a time saver for any splicing job, especially when working in tight spaces and prone to making mistakes when using other tools like vices or needle-nose pliers. A must-have for any professional electrical contractor!
Push-In Wire Connectors
Waterproof electrical connectors keep your low voltage landscape lighting set-ups from shorting or failing. They come in several different forms based on how many and what gauge of wires you need to connect. Some use a grease-filled cap to protect raw copper connections from ground moisture, while others crimp or solder splice conductors and then seal them with heat shrink tubing to render them waterproof.
The most effective and durable of these are push-in waterproof connectors. These use a transparent terminal housing to allow you to see that the stripped end of the conductor is inserted correctly. Some are openable, like HellermannTyton’s HelaCon Releasable, designed for maintenance work and pre-installation, while others are closed and used for permanent installations like a new garden or patio lighting installation.
Other options include dry-contact waterproof splice connectors that use set screws to encase the wires and then shrink tubes over them to render them waterproof. These are a good option for direct burial applications. For other types of connections, look for crimp and barrel style connectors that use small thin tubes to house the wires and then crimp or solder them and wrap them in heat shrink tubing to render them waterproof.
