Metallics MWNY1812 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Metallics MWNY1812 yellow wire connector handle?
The MWNY1812 is rated for 18 through 12 AWG conductors, which covers the common branch-circuit and fixture-wire range used in lighting and receptacle splices. It is the yellow-capped twist-on connector in the Metallics line, so color identifies the size range on the job without checking the box.
2) Can I use the MWNY1812 to splice two 12 AWG wires together in a junction box?
Yes, 12 AWG is the heavy end of the connector's 18 to 12 AWG range, so a two-conductor 12 AWG splice is within what the yellow cap is made for. Combinations mixing 14 and 12, or smaller fixture wire down to 18, also fall inside that range.
3) Is the yellow Metallics wire nut the same thing as a red or blue one?
No. Color marks the wire range on twist-on connectors, and the yellow MWNY1812 covers 18 to 12 AWG. If your splice falls outside that range, you need a different color in the series rather than forcing this one, since a cap used outside its listed range will not hold the conductors reliably.
4) How do I order the exact Metallics yellow wire connector part number?
Order it as Metallics MWNY1812. There is one model on the item, so there is no size or finish option to specify, just the quantity you need.
