3M 7000058271 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) Can the 3M Scotchlok 316IR be used for buried irrigation valve wire splices?
That is what the 316IR is built for. It is a moisture-resistant, grease-filled insulation displacement connector for irrigation wiring, with the sealant packed in against corrosion so the splice tolerates wet, direct-burial conditions. It is a low voltage connector rated to a maximum recommended 600 V, so it covers 24 V valve solenoid runs with plenty of margin.
2) What wire sizes will the Scotchlok 316IR accept?
The 316IR covers 22 through 16 AWG overall. The port assignments matter: the outer ports take 16 to 14 AWG solid or stranded and 12 AWG stranded, while the inner port takes 18 AWG solid or stranded and 20 AWG stranded. Maximum insulation outside diameter is 0.155 in (3.9 mm) on both the run and the tap, so oversized jacket wire will not seat.
3) Do I have to strip the wires before using a Scotchlok 316IR?
No stripping. The 316IR is an insulation displacement connector: the metal element cuts through the insulation as you crimp the cap down, so you push the wires in with the jacket intact. You do need to seat it fully, and 3M calls for the E-9BM crimping tool or a pair of 8 inch mechanics (slip joint) pliers.
4) How many wires can go into one 316IR connector?
Three conductors maximum. It is a pigtail configuration, so all wires enter from the same end and the connector closes off the other side, which is the typical arrangement for tying a valve solenoid lead to a common and a field wire.
5) Is the 3M 316IR connector UL listed?
It carries a C UL Listing under 3M's UL file number E23438, and it is RoHS 2011/65/EU compliant without exemption. The body is flame retardant nylon.
6) What temperature can these irrigation splice connectors handle?
The 316IR is rated to a maximum operating temperature of 105 C (221 F). That covers valve boxes in full sun and direct-burial runs in hot climates.
7) How is the 316IR packaged and how many come in a case?
3M part 7000058271 ships boxed, 30 connectors per carton and 300 per case. For a landscape or grounds crew doing repeat valve repairs across a property, the case quantity is the one to stock.
8) Are these 3M Scotchlok connectors made in the USA?
Yes, country of origin on the 316IR is the United States. That matters on public works and government jobs carrying domestic sourcing requirements.
9) How do I tell a used 316IR apart from other Scotchlok connectors in the valve box?
Look for the black cap on a white body. That two-tone color is how the 316IR is identified in the field, and the shell is nylon.
