How to Join Differing Size Wire
- 1). Strip 1/2 inch of outer insulation from the ends of each wire slated for connection. Twist the bare filaments of each wire to assist in insertion into the crimp connector.
- 2). Slip the larger wire into the larger opening at one end of the connector. Place the connector into the jaws of the crimp tool. Squeeze the handles firmly to compress the crimp onto the wire.
- 3). Slide the smaller-gauge wire into the smaller opening at the opposite end of the crimp connector. Crimp this end of the connector to complete the splice.
