Connectors offer visual proof of tight seal

Phillips Industries’ Crimp & Seal connectors now include Phillips’ Clear-Vu and Sta-Dry technologies to help provide visual proof that wires are sealed and crimped properly.

According to Phillips, standard connectors do not allow visual inspection of the wire, which, if stripped too short or not fully seated properly, can result in poor connections. The Clear-Vu adhesive lined tubing allows for see-through inspection.

Color-coded stripes identify wire gauge size and also indicate/guide the installer to the proper crimp position in the center of the barrel, Phillips said.
