Overview

The Panduit StrongHold ESV8-ESV10-Q Contractor Grade Vinyl Insulated Step-Down Butt Splice (SKU: ESV8-ESV10-Q) offers a reliable and economical solution for splicing solid or stranded wires in general-purpose applications. Designed to repair or lengthen wires, this splice accommodates a wire range of 8 AWG to 12-10 AWG, making it versatile for various electrical tasks. The red color-coding aids in quick identification. Manufactured in the USA, these splices feature a vinyl insulation that meets UL Flammability UL 94V-0 standards and can withstand a maximum insulation temperature of 221°F (105°C). The butt splice design ensures a secure connection, with a brazed seam that prevents the terminal barrel from splitting during the crimping process. An internal wire stop is integrated to guarantee the correct insertion depth into the terminal barrel, promoting consistent and reliable terminations. These splices are UL and CSA rated up to 600V per UL 486C, providing safety for electrical installations. Each package contains 25 splices, offering an economical option for contractors and electricians. The expanded wire entry is specifically engineered to accommodate wires with thicker insulation, enhancing usability. The parallel design requires only one crimp to complete the splice, streamlining the installation process. The seamless tubular barrel ensures a high-performance quality crimp every time. For optimal results, use with recommended Panduit installation tools such as the CT-100, CT-1550, CT-1551, CT-2300/ST, CT-2500/L, or UP14ZLW. The overall length of the splice is 1.18 inches (30 mm), with a wire strip length of 5/16 inches (7.9 mm).
