Leviton 40985-TW6 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is the Leviton 40985-TW6 used for?
It's a twist-on wire connector for joining stripped conductor ends inside a junction box, fixture canopy, or device enclosure. You bundle the stripped ends, twist the connector on, and the splice is mechanically held and electrically continuous. Typical use is branch circuit splices, lighting fixture hookups, and general maintenance and repair wiring.
2) Is the Bryant 8269T a substitute for the Leviton 40985-TW6 twist-on wire connector?
No. The Leviton 40985-TW6 is a twist-on wire connector that joins stripped conductor ends into a spliced bundle inside a junction box, fixture, or enclosure. The Bryant 8269T is a hospital grade NEMA 5-15R connector, which is a cord-mounted receptacle body for making a plug-and-connector power coupling, not a splice device. The word connector covers both, but they do different jobs: use the 40985-TW6 where wires are permanently joined behind a cover, and a 5-15R connector body where a cord cap plugs in and unplugs.
3) Do I need a crimper or any special tool to install a twist-on wire connector like the 40985-TW6?
No tooling beyond a stripper. The 40985-TW6 is made up by hand, twisting the connector down over the bundled conductor ends, so there's no crimp die or set screw to deal with. That's the main reason crews carry twist-ons for everyday splice work.
4) Is a twist-on wire connector the right choice for a hospital or patient-care room receptacle connection?
A twist-on connector such as the Leviton 40985-TW6 handles the splice in the box, but it is not a hospital grade device itself. Where the connection point has to carry a hospital grade designation, that applies to the wiring device, for example the Bryant 8269T hospital grade NEMA 5-15R connector body.
5) Do I need a Turnlok watertight connector if I am just splicing fixture leads in a box?
For splicing stripped fixture leads together inside a box, the Leviton 40985-TW6 twist-on wire connector is the device for that task; it is installed by twisting onto bundled conductor ends with no additional tools. The Pass & Seymour Turnlok 27W Series is a 20A watertight connector rated NEMA 4X/6P and is a locking cord-connection device, so it serves a different purpose than an in-box splice and is not required for one.
6) What part number do I order for the Leviton twist-on wire connector?
Order it as Leviton 40985-TW6. That is the manufacturer part number and the only configuration of this connector, so there is no finish, size, or color option to specify on the order.
7) For a maintenance stock order, which connectors cover the different jobs alongside the Leviton 40985-TW6?
The Leviton 40985-TW6 twist-on wire connector covers in-enclosure conductor splices for lighting, device wiring, and general repair work. To round out a cart: the Bryant WPC Series weatherproof wiring connector fitting addresses weather-exposed connections, the Pass & Seymour Turnlok 27W Series 20A watertight connector handles locking cord connections rated NEMA 4X/6P, and the Bryant 8269T hospital grade NEMA 5-15R connector covers cord-end receptacle bodies where hospital grade is called for. Each is a distinct device type rather than an alternate for the 40985-TW6.
