Sta-Kon RC551HT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RC551HT wire joint take?
The RC551HT is sized for 16-14 AWG stranded or solid building wire, and the blue insulation is the standard color code for that range. If your conductors are 12 AWG or larger, this is the wrong barrel size and the crimp will not hold.
2) How many wires can I splice into one RC551HT connector?
Three conductors. The RC551HT is a three-conductor wire joint, so it is the part for tying a run plus a branch tap, not a simple two-wire butt splice.
3) Can this wire joint be used in a high temperature location like a light fixture or heater junction box?
Yes. The RC551HT is the high temp version, rated up to 302 F (150 C), which covers fixture whips, heating equipment enclosures and other hot junction boxes where a standard nylon splice would be marginal.
4) Is the RC551HT rated for 277V and 480V lighting circuits?
It carries a 600 V rating, so it covers 120/277 V lighting branch circuits and 480 V control wiring within its 16-14 AWG conductor range.
5) Is this a twist-on wire nut or a crimp connector?
It is a crimp-type nylon insulated wire joint, not a twist-on. You need a crimp tool sized for insulated terminals in the 16-14 AWG range to make up the splice; no tool is included with the connectors.
6) Does the RC551HT come in bulk for stocking a service truck or MRO crib?
Yes, the RC551HT is supplied in bulk rather than small retail packs, which is how most maintenance shops buy a single splice size they go through repeatedly.
7) Are Sta-Kon RC551HT connectors made in the USA?
Country of origin on the RC551HT is the United States, which matters if you are buying against a domestic preference clause on a government or institutional job.
