Metallics MWNG2216B – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge range does the Metallics MWNG2216B wire connector handle?
The MWNG2216B is a twist-on wire connector rated for 22 through 16 AWG conductors. That covers the small-gauge work you see in fixture whips, low-voltage control wiring, thermostat and signal runs, and the pigtails inside luminaires. If you are splicing 14 or 12 AWG branch-circuit conductors, this is the wrong size cap, you need a larger connector.
2) What does the gray color on the MWNG2216B wire connector mean?
Gray identifies the wire-range size on Metallics twist-on connectors. On the MWNG2216B, gray is the 22 to 16 AWG cap. Electricians use the color to sort caps by range on the job rather than reading each one, so if your crew standardizes on these, gray is the small-gauge connector in the bin.
3) Can I use the Metallics MWNG2216B to splice 18 AWG fixture leads to 16 AWG?
Yes. Both 18 and 16 AWG fall inside the 22 to 16 AWG range the MWNG2216B covers, so a combination splice of those gauges is within the connector's stated range. Keep the total combination within the range the cap is rated for and twist the conductors fully into the cap so no bare copper shows below the skirt.
4) What is the exact manufacturer part number for the Metallics 22-16 AWG gray wire connector?
Metallics part number MWNG2216B. It is the gray 22 to 16 AWG twist-on wire connector in the Metallics wire nut line. Order by that MPN if you are matching an existing spec or restocking an MRO bin.
