Sta-Kon REE28 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire gauge does the blue Sta-Kon REE28 butt splice take?
Blue is the standard color code for 16-14 AWG on insulated nylon butt splices, and the REE28 is a blue insulated nylon butt splice. If you are terminating 22-18 AWG, you want a red splice instead; 12-10 AWG takes yellow.
2) Is the Sta-Kon REE28 butt splice rated for 600 volt branch circuit wiring?
Yes, the REE28 carries a 600 V rating, which covers standard 120/208/240/277/480 V building branch circuits and control wiring. It is UL recognized under file E9809.
3) Can I use a nylon insulated butt splice in a hot location like a luminaire or near a motor?
The REE28 is rated to 105 degrees C, so it handles the elevated ambient found in fixture wireways, ballast compartments, and motor junction boxes. Above that, you need a high temperature crimp sleeve or a ceramic connector instead.
4) Is the REE28 barrel copper or aluminum, and can I use it on aluminum conductors?
The crimp barrel is copper, so it is intended for copper conductors only. Aluminum building wire needs an AL9CU rated connector; putting bare copper against aluminum invites galvanic corrosion at the joint.
5) Do I need a special crimp tool for the Sta-Kon REE28, or will pliers work?
Use a proper insulated terminal crimper matched to the blue 16-14 AWG color code. Pliers deform the copper barrel without forming it around the strands, and the resulting joint pulls out and heats up. The nylon sleeve on the REE28 is an insulated splice, so the tool's blue nest is what gives you the rated termination.
6) Nylon or vinyl insulated butt splice, which should I order?
Nylon, like the REE28, is tougher and takes more abrasion and a wider temperature swing than vinyl, which is why it is specified for panel work, fixture whips, and anywhere the splice gets pulled through a raceway. Vinyl is fine for low abuse indoor work. Neither is a substitute for a heat shrink splice if the joint will see moisture or be outdoors.
7) What is the exact part number to order the Sta-Kon blue nylon butt splice?
Order it as Sta-Kon REE28. That is the manufacturer part number for the blue insulated nylon butt splice, made in Mexico.
