Review on Sopoby Electrical Disconnect Assortment with Connectors by David Caldwell

Plain spade terminals seem to fit, but if using them with T-connectors make sure the spade terminal is in the middle of the insulating shoe. If it doesn't, you need to make sure the scoop lines up with the faucet opening. Otherwise your connection will not be established. In addition, the T-Tap splicing tip prevents the cable from entering the socket. (see photo) I used good 18 ga cables with red connectors. First I had to use a wire stripper to strip the wire to make a good connection. These tabs do not cut the wire jacket and allow the wire to stay in the groove. I tried and tested each of the 14 red connectors on the 18 gauge wire. I tried blue tees for the same 18 gauge wire and they only worked properly after I cut a slit in the wire jacket with wire strippers. Taps are a great idea, but they have to work properly or they last a lot longer than regular connections. I have 8 to 10 connectors and wasted a lot of time getting them to work properly. In fact, if I didn't use around 25 plugs I'd probably send them back
