Quick Guide (pdf)
Using these Ancor heatshrink butt connectors is easy. First, make sure your wires are clean and within the 16 - 14 gauge range. Slide the connector over the ends of the wires you want to join. Then, use a heat source like a heat gun to apply heat evenly to the connector. Once it reaches 257°F (125°C), it will start to shrink and the adhesive inside will activate, creating a strong, watertight seal. When using the heat gun, keep it moving to avoid overheating a single spot. As for maintenance, these connectors are pretty low - maintenance. Just keep them in a dry place away from extreme temperatures. Since they're tinned and made of pure copper, they're resistant to corrosion, but try to avoid exposing them to harsh chemicals for long periods. Also, remember the warning - this product can expose you to harmful chemicals, so handle it with care.
