APPLICATION
Use GB-3 WireGard™ twist-on wire connector in general purpose
applications of 2 or more copper wires. GB-3 connectors feature side
knurling for easy grip.
SPECIFICATIONS
WireGard™ connectors shall feature straight type shell and steel inner
spring and be suitable for connecting copper wire from #22 to #14 AWG.
Spring shall be plated to resist corrosion and have a square profile to
provide secure contact with wires.
Connectors shall be rated for use with 600 V building wire / 1000 V lighting
applications plus be UL listed and CSA certified for applications up to 105 °C.
WireGard™ connectors must have few turns to meet required torque, meet
or exceed UL pull out and dielectric test requirements.
INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1. Strip wire 5/16" (7.9 mm). For 16 and 18 gauge stranded wires,
strip 3⁄8" (9.5 mm).
2. Pretwisting unnecessary. Hold stripped wires together with ends even.
(Lead stranded wires slightly).
3. Align any frayed strands or conductors.
4. Screw on connector; push wires firmly into connector when starting.
5. To be sold only with installation instructions.
