What happens here

Begin by stripping approximately 1/4 to 1/2 inch of insulation from the ends of the two wires you wish to connect. Insert one stripped wire end into each side of a non-insulated butt splice connector. Using appropriate crimping pliers (though standard pliers are shown in the video for demonstration purposes, dedicated crimping tools are highly recommended for secure connections), firmly crimp the connector onto both wire ends. Visually inspect the crimps to ensure they are tight and the wires are held securely.

Goal: Strip the insulation from the wire ends and securely crimp them into a non-insulated butt splice connector to establish a solid electrical connection.

back in service. >> We got a watertight seal that's going to last you forever. All right, folks. We are at Splyce Seal. >> What we're offering is wiring connection protection. And the way we do it, we use a noninssulated butt splice connection like this. Crimp it on your wires. You can verify you got a good solid connection prior to it going into the mold. Place it in the mold and verify that it is centered. Clamp the mold,
