Sta-Kon 2RBB – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the Sta-Kon 2RBB splice accept?
The Sta-Kon 2RBB is a 16-14 AWG butt splice, and the blue insulation is the standard color code for that range. Both wire ends going into the splice need to fall in the 16-14 AWG band; running an 18 AWG conductor into it will not give you a reliable crimp, and 12 AWG will not enter the barrel.
2) Is the Sta-Kon 2RBB rated for 600 volt control and branch circuit wiring?
Yes, 600 V is the rating on the 2RBB, which covers standard commercial control panel, lighting, and branch circuit work. It is also UL listed under file E9809.
3) Is the barrel on the Sta-Kon 2RBB copper or aluminum?
Copper. The 2RBB uses a copper barrel, so it is for splicing copper conductors. Do not use it on aluminum wire, which needs a connector specifically listed AL or AL9CU with the proper inhibitor compound.
4) Can I use a 2RBB butt splice to join two 14 AWG conductors in a junction box?
Yes, that is exactly what it does: two 14 AWG copper conductors go into opposite ends of the barrel and get crimped, giving an in-line splice rather than a tap. At 600 V and 105 degrees C it covers typical building branch circuit and fixture whip repair on copper wire.
5) How hot can a 2RBB nylon insulated splice run?
The 2RBB is rated to 105 degrees C. That suits it to motor control cabinets, ballast compartments, and luminaire wiring where ambient plus conductor heat climbs. For anything above 105 C you need a high temperature splice instead, not this nylon insulated one.
6) What is the difference between a nylon insulated splice and a vinyl one?
Nylon insulation, as used on the 2RBB, is tougher against abrasion and crush than vinyl and holds its shape when the splice is pulled through a raceway or bundled into a harness. Vinyl sleeves are softer and tear more easily during pull-through. The 2RBB's nylon sleeve is also what carries its 105 degree C rating.
7) Do I need a special crimp tool for the Sta-Kon 2RBB aircraft splice?
Yes, it is a crimp-only terminal, so it needs a ratcheting or plier-style crimp tool with the blue 16-14 AWG nest. Pliers or a generic hand squeeze will not produce a listed crimp. The 2RBB has no set screw and is not a twist-on connector.
8) Is the Sta-Kon 2RBB made in the USA for a Buy American spec job?
Country of origin on the 2RBB splice is the United States, which is what a government, transit, or federally funded procurement officer typically needs on the submittal. The part number to reference is Sta-Kon 2RBB.
