22-18awg Heat Shrink Step Dowen Butt Connectors - 16-14awg (25)

Ancor 22-18 AWG heat shrink step-down butt connectors deliver sealed electrical connections for smaller gauge marine wiring. The 4:1 shrink ratio tubing compresses around wire joints to form a watertight barrier, essential protection against saltwater corrosion. A flared barrel with uniform copper construction facilitates reliable, repeatable crimps with minimal effort. The molded crimp indicator ensures your installation tool contacts the barrel at the correct position for optimal connection strength. Transparent tubing lets you visually confirm proper crimp formation before heat-shrinking. Color-coded stripes identify the matching crimp die for your specific application. Use these connectors to step down between gauge sizes or join multiple wires of the same gauge, providing superior sealed performance compared to exposed quick-tap or 3-way alternatives. Contains 25 connectors.
