Sta-Kon 2RB14XCP – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon 2RB14XCP butt splice accept?
The 2RB14XCP is sized for 16-14 AWG stranded copper wire, which is why the insulation is blue, the standard color code for that range. Both ends take the same range, so it joins 16 to 16, 14 to 14, or 16 to 14. For 22-18 AWG use a red splice and for 12-10 use a yellow one.
2) Is this blue butt splice rated for 600 volt circuits?
Yes. The Sta-Kon 2RB14XCP carries a 600 V rating, which covers normal line-voltage branch circuits, control wiring, and fixture whips. It is UL recognized under file E9809.
3) Will this splice work on aluminum wire?
No. The barrel on the 2RB14XCP is copper, so it is for copper conductors only. Aluminum needs a connector specifically listed AL/CU with the appropriate inhibitor compound.
4) Can I use this vinyl butt splice inside a hot light fixture or near a motor?
The insulation on the 2RB14XCP is rated to 105 degrees C, so it handles warm ballast compartments, luminaire canopies, and motor junction boxes within that limit. If the splice sits somewhere that exceeds 105 C, go to a nylon or heat shrink insulated barrel instead.
5) Do I need a special crimper for Sta-Kon 2RB14XCP splices?
These are non-insulated-barrel-under-vinyl terminals and need a controlled crimp, not pliers. Use a ratcheting or plier-type insulated terminal tool on the blue 16-14 nest, and crimp each end of the barrel separately. Nothing is included with the splices themselves.
6) Is a butt splice the right choice, or should I use a wire nut?
A butt splice like the 2RB14XCP makes an inline, low-profile joint on two conductors, which is what you want inside a conduit body, a fixture stem, or anywhere a twist-on connector would not fit or would pull apart under vibration. Wire nuts are better when you are joining three or more conductors or want a connection you can take apart repeatedly. The 2RB14XCP is a two-wire, permanent crimp joint rated 600 V to 105 C.
7) How does the 2RB14XCP mini-pack ship, and where is it made?
The 2RB14XCP is the mini-pack version of the Sta-Kon blue 16-14 butt splice, a small counter pack rather than a bulk box, which suits a service van or a small MRO crib instead of a production bench. Made in the United States.
