That's total BS IMHO. Here's how you do it, followed by soldering & shrink tubing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Western_Union_splice (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer3.gif) I've used that for decades. I was calling it the wrong name. I called it A&P or NASA style. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) They just appropriated it from someone else! I've tested three splice spans (20,16,14) for both resistance and failure. No difference in resistance on a Fluke 87 and they never failed at the splice when the wire was shock tested to breakage. In 30+ years I've never had to re-do a splice done this way. For the last 8 years I have been using type 2 heat shrink with the glue lining. Once you get "good" your spice will look like you just added heat shrink to a wire. Almost no diameter change. |

If possible, I prefer not to have a splice. But it is not always possible. This appears to be a waterproof splice that would hold up well. And that can be used without the metal crimp connector, just use a western union splice, solder , then put it in their contraption and you have a waterproof junction. I can't see heat shrink being waterproof. |

I can't see heat shrink being waterproof. Bingo Clay. Add to that it looks a damn site better than heat shrink tube. Yes, I use the Marine type but this doubles up your bet against corrosion or a leak. More especially for the one who is not well versed in electrical connections. This type seal will also will end the conversation about solder joints breaking from vibration/flexing. It would surprise me if someone looked in the engine bay and complained about one of these. I remember when they came out with PVC pipe. I was a kid and the old timers were screaming "I wouldn't use that shit if they paid me!" (IMG:style_emoticons/default/av-943.gif) |
