Sta-Kon PT6M – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What is a Sta-Kon PT6M pigtail wire joint actually used for?
The PT6M is a nylon insulated wire joint that gives you a single terminating point for a group of wires all running in one direction. You bundle the conductors into the barrel, crimp once, and the insulated body covers the joint. It is the connector you reach for when several wires need to be tied together and carried off as one leg, rather than spliced end to end in opposite directions.
2) Is the Sta-Kon PT6M wire joint UL listed?
Yes. The PT6M carries UL file E9809. If your inspector or spec calls for a UL recognized insulated wire joint, that file number is what you cite on the submittal.
3) What is the insulation on the PT6M pigtail joint made of, and does it need extra taping?
The insulation is nylon, which is tougher and more abrasion and crush resistant than a vinyl sleeve, so the crimped joint is covered as-is without additional tape or heat shrink in normal dry interior work. Nylon also takes the pull of a crimp tool without splitting at the barrel mouth.
4) Should I use a pigtail wire joint like the PT6M or a butt splice?
Different jobs. A butt splice takes one wire in each end and carries a run straight through. The PT6M pigtail joint takes a group of conductors entering from the same side and terminates them at one point, which is what you want when you are tapping several branch wires together and bringing them out as a single pigtail. If your two wires face opposite directions, a butt splice is the right part instead.
5) Is the Sta-Kon PT6M made in the USA?
Yes, the PT6M pigtail wire joint is manufactured in the United States. That matters on government, institutional, and federally funded projects where domestic sourcing is written into the procurement terms.
6) What does the red color on a Sta-Kon PT6M mean?
The PT6M body is red. On insulated terminals and joints, color is the standard field shorthand for the wire range the barrel accepts, so a red body reads the same way across a panel full of Sta-Kon parts. It also makes the pigtail joints easy to pick out of a mixed bin on the truck.
7) What part number do I order for the Sta-Kon pigtail wire joint?
Order it as Sta-Kon PT6M. That is the manufacturer part number and the only model in this pigtail joint configuration, so there is no separate finish, length, or packaging code to specify.
