Metallics MWRC221810 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the Metallics MWRC221810 ring terminal take?
The MWRC221810 is sized for 22 to 18 AWG stranded or solid wire. If you are landing 16 AWG or larger, this barrel is too small and you need the next gauge range up in the ring terminal line.
2) Ring terminal or fork terminal for a #10 terminal screw?
A ring like the MWRC221810 has a closed tongue, so the wire cannot pull off the stud if the screw backs out partway. That is why panel, motor, and ground connections are specified as rings. A fork (spade) terminal slides out from under a loosened screw, which makes it faster for service work but not the choice where vibration or code-driven ground continuity matters.
3) Do I need a special tool to crimp the Metallics MWRC221810?
Yes, it is a crimp-on terminal, not a screw-down lug. Use a controlled-cycle or ratcheting crimper matched to the 22 to 18 AWG insulated terminal die (commonly the red die position). Pliers will give you a mechanically weak joint that reads fine on a meter and fails later under vibration.
4) Is the MWRC221810 suitable for control wiring and low voltage runs?
That is exactly the range it covers. 22 to 18 AWG is control, thermostat, signal, and instrumentation wire rather than branch circuit conductors, so this ring is the one for landing control leads on #10 studs at relays, terminal strips, and equipment grounds.
