🔗 Ceramic Twist Connector for Small Gauge Wires (22-14 AWG) Review

Let me start by saying that I never write reviews. I am an electrician with over 30 years of experience. I bought these high temperature wire nuts to terminate 2 #18 gauge wires in an MR-16 downlight. They don't work, the wires don't catch.

I used this to install a Rheem water heater after a replacement. In the old one, these caps were melted onto the top electrical connector until the inner metal made contact with the metal case and the whole thing almost burned the house down.

Turns out I didn't have to use those ceramic nuts but they arrived a day earlier than expected! I've saved them for future use as they don't seem to be available in my local outlets. See my gas oven igniter replacement review for more information. Thanks very much!

The last time I replaced the fan in our fireplace insert I used regular wire nuts from a local shop. When I tried replacing it the second time, all of those wire nuts melted and were difficult to remove. With an operating temperature of 1000 degrees, they should be great and easy to swap out next time.

The igniter in the top oven of my GE double oven gas range broke after prolonged use and I decided to replace it myself. Inserting the wires into the board on the back of the oven is very difficult for this model so I took the usual shortcut but I needed high temperature wire connectors to handle the heat in the oven. I've read comments that these caps are too big so I bought a similar set from another supplier (small Supco T1165) just in case. I used them because they were as small as possible
