Gardner Bender 10-002 – Frequently Asked Questions

1) What wire sizes does the Gardner Bender 10-002 blue wire connector handle?
The 10-002 WireGard connector takes #22 through #16 AWG copper (1 mm2). It's the small blue nut, so it's for fixture leads, thermostat and low-voltage control wire, and small lighting splices, not 14 or 12 AWG branch circuit conductors. Copper to copper only, no aluminum.
2) What voltage is the 10-002 twist-on connector rated for?
600V maximum in building wire, and 1000V maximum in lighting fixtures, luminaires and signs. The higher sign and fixture rating is why it shows up in ballast and LED driver splices.
3) Will the blue WireGard connector hold up inside a hot light fixture?
The shell is flame retardant and resists heat distortion up to 105 degrees Celsius (221 degrees Fahrenheit), which covers typical fixture canopy and luminaire splice temperatures.
4) How big is each individual blue wire nut, and will it fit in a crowded fixture canopy?
Each connector is 0.703 inches long with a 0.391 inch body diameter, small enough to stack several in a tight canopy or a 4-inch round box where a larger yellow or red nut would crowd the splice.
5) Does the WireGard connector leave bare wire exposed after twisting?
The shell uses a deep skirt design that covers the conductor insulation past the splice, so stripped copper is not left sticking out below the nut. It's a high-dielectric shell, which matters when several splices are packed against each other or against a grounded box.
6) How many connectors come in a carton of Gardner Bender 10-002?
They ship 100 per carton, part number 10-002. The carton measures 2.5 x 3.25 x 1.75 inches and weighs 3.15 ounces, so it drops easily into a tool pouch or van bin.
7) Why does the Gardner Bender WireGard take fewer turns than a standard wire nut?
It uses a square-wire zinc-plated spring that bites and conforms to the size and shape of the splice right away, so it reaches required torque in fewer turns. Gardner Bender states it meets or exceeds UL pull-out and dielectric test requirements. On a high-count fixture job that difference adds up over a few hundred splices.
