Ideal Industries 2011SB – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes does the Ideal 2011SB copper crimp connector accept?
The 2011SB copper sleeve connector handles 14 through 4 AWG copper conductors, solid or stranded. That range covers everything from a 14 AWG branch circuit conductor up to a 4 AWG feeder or service run, so one connector type covers most of the copper splicing on a job. It is copper-only, so aluminum conductors need a different connector.
2) Is the Ideal 2011SB crimp sleeve UL listed for electrical inspection?
Yes. The 2011SB is UL 486S Listed, CSA C22.2 No. 188 certified, and compliant with Federal Specification W-S-61D. UL 486S is the standard covering insulation-piercing and crimp splicing connectors, so it is the listing an inspector looks for on a splice. The CSA certification matters if the work is in Canada, and the federal spec compliance is what typically clears a government or institutional submittal.
3) Does the 2011SB copper crimp connector come insulated, or do I have to tape it?
It is a bare solid copper sleeve, not an insulated connector. The splice has to be insulated after crimping, with electrical tape or heat shrink tubing sized to cover the sleeve and the conductor insulation on both sides. Order that separately, it is not included. If you want the insulation built in, look for an insulated butt splice instead.
4) What tool do I need to crimp an Ideal 2011SB sleeve?
A crimping tool with the correct die for the conductor size you are splicing anywhere in the 14 to 4 AWG range. It is a pressure-type termination, meaning the crimp itself makes the mechanical and electrical connection, so the die has to match the wire, not just the sleeve. Solid copper takes less crimping force than plated sleeves. Tug-test each leg after crimping. No tool is supplied with the connector.
5) Can I use a copper crimp sleeve instead of a wire nut on a panel or junction splice?
A crimp sleeve makes a permanent splice, a wire nut makes a serviceable one. The 2011SB is the right call where you want the joint to stay put and not back out under vibration or thermal cycling, and where the splice will be buried in a run rather than reopened. The tradeoff is that you cannot undo it, and every splice needs a tool, a die, and separate insulation. For device boxes you expect to service, a twist-on connector is the easier choice.
6) What part number do I order for the Ideal copper crimp connector?
Ideal Industries part number 2011SB. That is the full manufacturer part number, and it is the only configuration, no finish, size, or length options to pick. When standardizing across a facility, 2011SB is the single line item to carry for copper splicing in the 14 to 4 AWG range.
7) Can I splice two different wire gauges together with the 2011SB, like 12 AWG to 10 AWG?
Both conductors have to land inside the 14 to 4 AWG copper range the sleeve is rated for, and the crimp die has to suit what is actually in the barrel. A sleeve crimped on a die sized for the larger conductor will not compress the smaller one enough to make a reliable pressure connection. Match the die to the conductors going in and tug-test both legs after crimping.
