Sta-Kon RP12-HT – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the Sta-Kon RP12-HT wire joint accept?
The RP12-HT is sized for 14 to 12 AWG conductors, which covers the standard 15 amp and 20 amp branch circuit wire in commercial and residential work. Don't use it on 16 AWG or smaller fixture wire or on 10 AWG, the barrel crimp won't hold properly outside the marked range.
2) How many wires can I put in one RP12-HT splice?
Three conductors. The RP12-HT is a 3-conductor parallel splice, so it joins up to three 14 to 12 AWG wires in one crimp. For a four-wire or larger junction you need a higher-capacity joint or a second splice.
3) Is the Sta-Kon RP12-HT UL listed?
Yes. The high temp wire joint carries UL file E9809, and it is rated 600 V. That combination is what inspectors look for on a crimped splice inside a fixture or enclosure.
4) Should I use a crimped wire joint like the RP12-HT or just a twist-on wire connector?
A twist-on connector is faster but relies on the spring and the installer's torque. The RP12-HT is a nylon insulated parallel splice that gets crimped with a tool, so it gives a fixed mechanical termination that holds up in vibration and in hot locations up to 150 degrees C. Pick it where the junction is inside a fixture, a motor whip, or any compartment that runs hot, or where the spec calls for a crimped splice. You do need the matching crimp tool for 14-12 AWG insulated terminals.
5) Is the Sta-Kon RP12-HT made in the USA for a Buy American job?
Country of origin is the United States, which is what a government, school district, or federally funded project needs on file for a domestic-content requirement. The part number to cite is RP12-HT.
6) What is the insulation on the RP12-HT made of, and what color is it?
Nylon insulation, white. The white body is the visual cue for the 14-12 AWG high temp joint, so stock pickers and inspectors can tell it apart from the standard color-coded Sta-Kon range at a glance. Nylon also resists abrasion and crushing better than vinyl when the splice gets pushed into a crowded fixture canopy.
