LET’S GO WIRE NUTS!

Watch on YouTube

What happens here

The video begins by showcasing two types of wire connectors: a standard, orange wire nut and a blue and orange waterproof wire nut. The demonstrator then removes the orange cap from the waterproof wire nut, revealing a clear silicone or gel sealant inside the blue plastic body, which is designed to protect electrical connections from moisture.

Goal: Compare a standard wire nut with a waterproof version, highlighting the waterproof cap and the internal sealant that provides moisture protection.

So, this is a regular wire nut. This is a waterproof wire nut. Good. It has a small lid that can be removed. Look. All this sealant inside. Put this cover back on. You insert your wires there. And when you connect them, you can see that the sealant starts to leak out of there.
