Insert one wire from each end and crimp firmly with a ratcheting crimper rated for 22–18 AWG — use the correct die size for fine-gauge wire. 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eA 3-pack of VER-81209 belongs in every onboard toolkit — the right connector for fast, reliable instrument and sensor wiring repairs at sea or at the dock.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"WEST","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":43564292341796,"sku":"VER-81209","price":4.51,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0743\/5799\/7604\/files\/Ancor_Heat_Shrink_Butt_Connector_22_18_AWG_3-Pack.jpg?v=1776378288","url":"https:\/\/marisolmarine.com\/products\/ancor-heat-shrink-butt-connector-22-18-awg-3-pack-ver-81209","provider":"Marisol Marine Company","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
