Waterproof Wire Nut is a versatile Landscape Lighting Accessory that can be used with all low voltage landscape lighting wires, both above and underground. Waterproof Wire Nuts are filled with clear USA silicone to protect spliced wires from moisture and oxidation.
Wire nuts are an excellent choice for bonding when you need to connect two intact cables. Ensure the cable isn't connected to electrical power sources to avoid working with live wires. You can start by stripping away about ¾” of insulation (using a wire stripping tool). (maybe add link for wire strippers)
When grouping wires together, be sure that you are matching wires by likeliness. One side of the wire will display printed white writing, or may be stamped with writing. The other side will be blank. It is primitive that your low voltage wires correlate this way throughout your installation.
(Pro Tip) The side of the wire with the writing will be smooth, the side without writing will display ridges and grooves.
Use wire nuts by taking two exposed cable ends and placing the wires inside. it is not necessary to pre-twist; the connection should be established with the twisting of the wire nut itself. Wire nuts can and will be formed once the wires are secured inside.
(Pro Tip) Make sure you don't push the wires in too deep to avoid ruining the connection by bunching the wires in the enclosed space. However, you still want to ensure the wire nut covers the exposed end.
Twist wire nut until snug or you feel a slight resistance.
Connectors can be re-used if necessary if they are not compromised structurally.
