Waterproof Low Voltage Wire Connectors
Waterproof low voltage wire connectors make strong connections that replace the tape and solder used in landscape lighting projects. They are ideal for outdoor/irrigation, electrical and direct burial splices.
Some are designed for grounding applications and feature an antioxidant inside that prevents aluminum wire waterproof low voltage wire connectors oxidation. Others have a gel filled interior that encapsulates the splice and protects it from environmental contamination.
DryConn(r)
King Innovation has created a waterproof anode splice box called DryConn, which is designed to save contractors time. This quality one step connector is filled with a dielectric silicone sealant that surrounds the splice making it water and corrosion resistant. It is ideal for outdoor electrical connections exposed to condensation, water vapors and dust. It can be used for utility tracer lines without cutting the main service line and is a perfect solution for reducing the number of man-hours required to splice.
Installation is fast and easy. Simply strip main and tap conductor(s) to 5/8 inch width of lug and insert onto side A or B. Align and tighten. Close housing, using a wrench to ensure it is completely latched.
The black and grey DryConn is a great choice for irrigation, landscape lighting, or other direct burial applications. It is also a great replacement for standard copper grounding blocks. The molded silicone cap protects the raw copper connection from ground moisture and provides a durable and long lasting waterproof electrical connection. The connector is easy to install and there is no pre-twisting of wires required.
TwistLOC(tm) Hub
TwistLOC is a one step push-fit plumbing system that combines the benefits of both push fit and twist lock technology to provide a secure, peace of mind leak free joint with simple installation. It is a highly durable system that is suitable for use with copper, PB and PEX pipework. It is ideal for plumbing, local/home hot water supply and heating systems. It is easy to install and can help to save labour time. It has a visual connection indicator that can be easily verified, providing added confidence in the quality of the connections. It is WRAS, Kitemarked to BS 7291 Parts 1,2, 3 Class S and cUPC approved and is NSF certified. It is also resistant to corrosion and freezing. It is also reusable and fully demountable.
TwistLOC(tm) Direct Burial
In addition to protecting electrical circuits, these Hubbell devices also help prevent unintentional disconnects. This is particularly important in wet environments like factory floors or outdoor applications where mechanical damage and moisture can be a concern. This is accomplished by maintaining a watertight seal when connected, disconnecting and unconnecting.
These connectors are rated for use in temperatures up to 250 degrees Fahrenheit and can be used with a variety of conductors including copper, XHHW-2, and aluminum. They are also available in a number of different styles including straight and 90 degree plugs. They have a smooth front interfacial seal and rear sealing grommet that can be separated or bonded together.
Other features of waterproof ethernet connector these connectors include:
* Contact engaging and separation force – the force required to either engage or separate pin and socket contacts out of their connector inserts. Values are generally established for maximum and minimum forces.
* Dialyl Phthalate – A thermosetting plastic that offers outstanding dimensional stability and resistance to most chemicals and chemical compounds.
Hubbell polytuff non-metallic liquidtight conduit and fittings are commonly used between disconnect switches and equipment on industrial plants’ factory floors to improve safety by protecting wiring from mechanical damage and moisture. These connectors are listed for use in a variety of indoor and outdoor locations where a watertight seal is necessary and the cable is exposed to temperatures up to 250°F.
