Vernalift Ancor Heat Shrink Butt Connector — 16–14 AWG, 3-Pack
Make fast, watertight inline wire splices with Ancor's industry-leading heat shrink butt connectors. The VER-81213 3-pack is sized for 16–14 AWG wire — the most common gauge range for marine accessory wiring, navigation lights, bilge pumps, VHF feeds, and panel circuits — and delivers the same adhesive-lined heat shrink quality as Ancor's bulk packs in a convenient 3-connector retail size.
Key Features
- Ancor Marine-Grade Quality — Manufactured to ABYC E-11 and UL 1426 standards; Ancor is the industry benchmark for marine electrical connectors
- Dual-Wall Adhesive-Lined Heat Shrink — Inner adhesive flows into the crimp zone during heating, creating a fully sealed, waterproof splice that resists corrosion in salt, bilge, and high-humidity environments
- 16–14 AWG Wire Range — Covers the most common marine accessory gauge range; suitable for navigation lights, bilge pumps, VHF radio feeds, instrument wiring, and general panel circuits
- Tinned Copper Barrel — Corrosion-resistant tinned copper crimp barrel ensures a low-resistance, gas-tight connection with long-term conductivity
- Inline Splice Design — Joins two wire ends end-to-end for clean wire extensions, repairs, and splices without junction boxes
- 3-Pack Convenience — Right-sized for single-circuit repairs or onboard toolkit use; keep a pack aboard for quick fixes at sea or at the dock

Choosing the Right Pack Size & Gauge
- 22–18 AWG, 3-pack — Instruments, sensors, LED lighting, transducers (SKU VER-81209)
- 16–14 AWG, 3-pack — Accessory wiring, single-circuit repairs, onboard toolkit (this SKU — VER-81213)
- 16–14 AWG, 50-pack — Full wiring projects, service bench stock (SKU VER-81215)
Always match the connector gauge range to your wire gauge. Using an oversized connector on fine wire produces an unreliable crimp and compromises the waterproof seal.
Installation Notes
Strip both wire ends to the correct length so each conductor fills half the barrel without the conductors touching. Insert one wire from each end and crimp firmly with a ratcheting crimper rated for 16–14 AWG. Apply heat evenly with a heat gun from the center outward until the sleeve shrinks uniformly and adhesive flows from both ends. Allow to cool before routing or flexing. Do not use an open flame.
A 3-pack of VER-81213 belongs in every onboard toolkit — the right connector for fast, reliable accessory wiring repairs at sea or at the dock.
