3M 7100136955 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes will the 3M Performance Plus twist-on connector handle?
The 3M Performance Plus wire connector covers 22 AWG through 12 AWG, so it takes everything from low-voltage thermostat and control conductors up to 12 AWG branch circuit wire. The flexible spring expands across that range, which is why one dual color coded connector replaces two traditional sizes in most applications.
2) Are 3M Performance Plus wire connectors UL Listed for commercial work?
Yes, they are UL Listed. That plus the 600 volt rating and flame retardant body is what most institutional and MRO spec sheets are looking for on a twist-on connector.
3) The drawing calls for a liquidtight conduit connector in a 100 pack. Is the 3M 7100136955 what I want?
No. The 3M 7100136955 is a 100 pack of twist-on wire connectors that splice conductors, rated 22 to 12 AWG and 600 volts, and it does not terminate conduit. For flexible liquidtight conduit, the RACO 4734 is the part: a SWIVEL-LOK series 1 inch Type B liquidtight multi-position connector in nylon, also supplied in a pack of 100. The two are frequently bought on the same job, since the RACO fitting lands the conduit at the box and the 3M connectors make up the splices inside it.
4) Are these connectors OK in an unheated attic or an outdoor-rated enclosure in winter?
Temperature range on the 3M Performance Plus connector runs from -40 C to 105 C (-40 F to 221 F), so cold attics, unconditioned garages and hot fixture canopies are all inside the operating window. It is also flame retardant.
5) Is 3M 7100136955 sold individually or by the box?
It ships as a 100 pack, and 100 is the minimum order quantity. The part number to order is 7100136955.
6) Why do I need fewer sizes on the truck with the dual color coded connector?
The dual color coding means one connector does the job of two traditional wire nuts in most applications, because the spring flexes across the full 22 to 12 AWG range instead of a narrow band. For a service tech or a property maintenance crew stocking a van, that is one bin instead of two, and the spring allows reuse if a splice has to be opened and remade.
7) Is the Burndy BDTIBB intersystem bonding connector an alternative to 3M Performance Plus wire connectors?
No, they solve different problems. The 3M Performance Plus 7100136955 is a twist-on wire connector for splicing conductors from 22 to 12 AWG at up to 600 volts inside a box or enclosure. The Burndy BDTIBB is a BONDIT wall mount intersystem bonding connector in stainless steel, designed to be mounted at the service to give telecom, CATV and satellite grounds a common bonding point for #14 to #2 AWG conductors. If you are splitting or joining branch circuit conductors, the 3M twist-on is the part; if you need an exterior intersystem bonding termination bar, the BDTIBB is.
8) Do these meet RoHS requirements for a green building or sustainable distribution spec?
The 3M Performance Plus connector is RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant without exemption, which is the line sustainable distributors and institutional purchasing groups usually need to see.
