Sta-Kon 2RA18XCP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon 2RA18XCP butt splice take?
The 2RA18XCP is sized for 22 to 18 AWG stranded copper wire, which is the red color code on insulated terminals. Both ends take the same range, so it joins two conductors in that gauge band end to end. For 16-14 AWG you need the blue-coded splice instead, and for 12-10 AWG the yellow.
2) Is this red butt splice rated for 600 volt circuits?
Yes. The Sta-Kon 2RA18XCP carries a 600 V rating, which covers standard line-voltage branch circuits, control wiring, and fixture whips. It is UL recognized under file E9809.
3) Can I use a vinyl insulated butt splice in a hot location like a light fixture or motor junction box?
The vinyl insulation on the 2RA18XCP is rated to 105 degrees C, which covers most fixture and control enclosure work. If your application runs hotter than that, or you need a flame rating beyond vinyl, go to a nylon insulated or heat shrink splice instead.
4) Do I need a special crimp tool for Sta-Kon 2RA18XCP splices?
These are crimp-type barrel splices, not twist-on or solder. Use a ratcheting insulated terminal crimper with the red die or nest for 22-18 AWG. Pliers will not produce a gas-tight crimp, and a loose crimp on a 600 V circuit is a failure point.
5) What does the butt splice barrel material matter for aluminum versus copper wire?
The 2RA18XCP has a copper barrel, so it is intended for copper conductors. Do not use it on aluminum wire, that needs a splice specifically listed AL/CU with the proper oxide inhibitor.
6) Is the 2RA18XCP made in the USA?
Country of origin on the Sta-Kon 2RA18XCP is the United States, which matters if you are bidding public work with domestic sourcing requirements.
7) What is the exact part number to reorder these red 22-18 butt splices?
Order by Sta-Kon MPN 2RA18XCP. It is the mini-pack of the expanded vinyl insulated butt splice for 22-18 AWG.
