Ideal Industries 84-9291 – Frequently Asked Questions
1) What wire sizes does the IDEAL 84-9291 blue butt splice take?
The 84-9291 is the blue-coded size, rated for 16-14 AWG stranded or solid copper. Blue is the standard color code for that range, so if the conductors on the job are 18-16 AWG you want a red splice instead, and 12-10 AWG takes yellow.
2) Can I use the IDEAL 84-9291 to join two different wire sizes?
Only if both conductors fall in the 16-14 AWG range the blue splice covers. A butt splice crimps one conductor into each end of the same barrel, so a 14 AWG to 10 AWG transition will not hold in this part. For mixed sizes, step up to the splice sized for the larger conductor and confirm the smaller one still crimps tight, or use a step-down splice.
3) Is the IDEAL 84-9291 butt splice insulated, or do I need to heat shrink it after crimping?
It comes with vinyl insulation already on the barrel, so no additional sleeving is needed for a standard dry-location splice. The insulation entry is expanded to take a range of wire jacket diameters and to support the insulation behind the crimp. If the splice will sit in a wet or outdoor location, a sealed heat-shrink splice is the better choice, since vinyl is not a moisture seal.
4) How many butt splices come in a box of the IDEAL 84-9291?
Bulk box of 1,000 pieces, one size (blue, 16-14 AWG). That is a shop or truck-stock quantity rather than a job pack, so if you only need a handful of splices for one repair, look for a small carded assortment instead.
5) Do I need a special crimper for these blue vinyl butt splices?
Use an insulated-terminal crimper matched to the blue 16-14 AWG nest. The barrel has a shouldered insulation feature that seats the splice in the tool jaw so the crimp lands on the barrel and not on the insulation. Pliers or a non-insulated die will deform the vinyl and give you an unreliable joint.
6) What is the IDEAL 84-9291 butt splice barrel made of?
Tin-plated brass. The plating gives corrosion resistance, and the barrel uses butted seam construction so it will not split open when you crimp it down hard. Inside, the barrel is serrated to bite the strands, which resists pull-out and keeps contact resistance low.
7) What is the IDEAL part number for the blue 16-14 AWG vinyl butt splice?
IDEAL Industries 84-9291. That one number covers the blue 16-14 AWG vinyl insulated butt splice in the 1,000-piece bulk box.
