Metallics MWNG2216 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Metallics MWNG2216 wire connector take?
The MWNG2216 is sized for 22 to 16 AWG conductors, so it covers the small-gauge end of the range: fixture leads, low-voltage control wiring, thermostat and signal runs, and 16 AWG lamp cord. Anything heavier than 16 AWG needs a larger connector.
2) Can I use the Metallics MWNG2216 gray connector on 14 or 12 AWG branch circuit wiring?
No. The MWNG2216 tops out at 16 AWG, so standard 14 and 12 AWG branch circuit conductors fall outside its range. Use a connector whose printed range includes the gauge and the number of conductors you are joining; the gray 22-16 is for small-gauge work like fixture and control leads.
3) What does the gray color mean on a Metallics MWNG2216 twist-on wire connector?
Gray is the color code the manufacturer uses to flag this connector's wire range, 22 to 16 AWG. On a job where several sizes are open at once, the cap color is how an electrician tells the small-gauge connector apart from the ones rated for heavier combinations without re-reading the bag.
4) What is the Metallics part number for the gray 22-16 AWG wire connector?
Order it as Metallics MWNG2216. That is the manufacturer part number for the gray twist-on connector covering 22 through 16 AWG, and it is the number to quote to match existing stock on a service truck or in an MRO bin.
