Ideal Industries 84-9031 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire size does the IDEAL 84-9031 butt splice take?
The IDEAL Industries 84-9031 butt splice is sized for 8 AWG conductors, one wire into each end of the barrel. It is not a range connector, so 10 AWG or 6 AWG wire should go into the matching splice for that gauge rather than this one.
2) Is the IDEAL 84-9031 splice insulated, and do I need to cover it after crimping?
It is a non-insulated butt splice, so the crimped barrel is bare metal. Plan on insulating the finished joint yourself with heat shrink tubing or tape to meet whatever the installation requires. Buyers who want the covering built in should look at an insulated butt splice in 8 AWG instead.
3) What is the IDEAL 84-9031 butt splice made of, and will it hold up in a damp or outdoor enclosure?
Tin-plated brass is the construction, which is specified for corrosion resistance. That makes it suitable for the damp panel and vehicle-type environments where a bare copper barrel would tarnish, though as a non-insulated splice the joint still needs its own covering for moisture protection.
4) Will the IDEAL 84-9031 splice pull apart under strain?
The barrel is made with internal serrations that bite into the conductor strands to resist pull-out, and a butted seam so the barrel will not split open at maximum crimp pressure. The serrations also cut contact resistance across the joint. Pull-out resistance still depends on using the correct crimp die for an 8 AWG non-insulated terminal.
5) Does the IDEAL 84-9031 need a special crimp tool?
It is a crimp-type splice, not a mechanical set-screw or compression lug, so it needs a crimping tool with a die for non-insulated terminals at 8 AWG. The shouldered barrel seats the terminal in the die quickly for repeat crimping, and the expanded insulation entry lets conductors with varied insulation diameters feed in and get supported at the mouth of the barrel.
6) Can I use the IDEAL 84-9031 to join two different wire gauges together?
No. It is a straight 8 AWG butt splice, both barrels sized the same, so it is for joining 8 AWG to 8 AWG end to end. A step-down or reducing connector is the right part for joining two different gauges.
7) How many butt splices come in a box of IDEAL 84-9031?
These ship 250 to the box, which is a bulk pack aimed at shops and MRO crews doing repeat 8 AWG splicing rather than a single repair. There is one model on the order, 84-9031, so there are no finish or size options to specify.
