How far does the wire need to be placed in the wire connector? Should it just be in the tunnel where its being crimped or does it need to be exposed on the flat part?

@BillOfAllTrades2016 7 ай бұрын

When done properly, The exposed wire should be just in the tunnel where you crimp. So another tip I forgot to mention is that if you look at how long the tunnel part is, that will give you an idea of how much insulation to trim off your wire so no wire is exposed. Hope this helps.

What is the name and where did you get the wire stripping tool?

@BillOfAllTrades2016 10 ай бұрын

They are called self adjusting wire strippers. They can be purchased from amazon. They cost less than $20. Thanks for watching. Please like and subscribe

I've watched several videos where the wire that's being tapped into is not peeled back at all with the wire stripper. and the locking tap is placed directly on the coating of the wire. how would that even work if the metal of the locking tap isn't making contact with the wire/copper itself? am i missing something?

@BillOfAllTrades2016 2 ай бұрын

The manufacturer says to just push on and the tap is supposed to cut into the wire, however in my experience the blades in the tap are so dull that they only kink the insulation but don’t penetrate. Perhaps the other videos featured a different brand of tap that pierces the insulation better. But I think it’s best to pierce it first. Makes a better connection. Hope this helps.

Fully agree. If one chooses the correct size of the T Tap for the cable to be connected, peeling back the sleeving is really unnessary. Also, with the peeling, it exposes more of the copper and this is more susceptible to shorting.

I want to connect my LED DRL lights with T-taps. My problem is, the wires from the LEDs are really tiny, and I can't crimp them into the connector. Please do you have any advice for this?

@BillOfAllTrades2016 3 ай бұрын

What gauge wire are you trying to tap into? And what guage is the connector?

Hi, can this type of connector use for home wiring electrical 220v ie?

@BillOfAllTrades2016 4 ай бұрын

No definitely not. You will need to go to a hardware store and ask them for the correct connectors for home electrical. These are only for low voltage accessories.

I mean is this safe and how long does a connection like this last ?

@BillOfAllTrades2016 5 ай бұрын

Why would it not be safe? I wouldn’t demonstrate a method if it wasn’t safe. The application will define the outcome of how long it lasts. Things like outdoor may be shorter life then indoor. Wet vs dry environment. At work we have these on a forklift for ten plus years.
