Waterproof Irrigation Wire Connectors
Protecting electrical connections from environmental damage is critical for long-term performance of landscape lighting or irrigation systems. Moisture, weather and other variables can wreak havoc on any exposed wiring system, leading to corrosion and other issues.
Waterproof wire connectors, also known as wire nuts, are an easy way to cover and secure electrical connection points. These waterproof products are filled with moisture-resistant materials to prevent corrosion of any exposed wire ends.
DryConn Blue/Blue Wire Connectors
Waterproof irrigation wire connectors ensure your sprinkler or landscape lighting splices remain safe and secure from the elements. These easy-to-use, flame retardant fasteners keep electrical wires from touching each other or exposed metal surfaces, which could result in a dangerous short circuit. Available from top manufacturers like Blazing Products, King Innovation and Paige Electric, our selection of wire connectors are ideal for landscape lighting or irrigation splices.
The DryConn Large Direct Bury, Aqua/Blue wire connector is a quality one-step connector filled with a dielectric silicone sealant that surrounds splices, making them water and corrosion resistant. The sealant also closes all entryways to moisture, which makes it an excellent choice for outdoor connections that are exposed to condensation, water vapor or dust.
These waterproof irrigation connectors are perfect for low voltage splices in landscaping or irrigation valves, or to make repairs on trailer wiring or other weather sensitive applications. They lock tight with double O-ring seals and hydraulically pump to compress and pack the pre-filled silicone that encapsulates your splice. The silicone never hardens and provides a long-lasting and durable connection that is highly resilient against the harsh outdoors. Choose from various sizes and colors to best suit your needs, including a blue or black color option.
SnapLoc Wire Connectors
When you need to connect electrical wires outdoors, waterproof connectors are a safe and effective solution. They hide the connection point, which reduces the risk of waterproof irrigation wire connectors accidents or short circuits. Waterproof connectors can withstand harsh conditions, including heavy rain or extreme temperatures. They can also resist exposure to chemicals and other materials.
Waterproof connectors are easy to use. Simply turn off the power to the area before working with the connector. Then, remove the protective cap and strip the ends of the wires to expose about 12 inch of bare wire. Insert them into the holes on the side of the connector and snap them together. Make sure the exposed ends are aligned before closing. The connectors are then filled with silicone to prevent moisture and corrosion.
You can find these types of connectors in our collection of landscape lighting accessories and irrigation supplies. We carry a variety of sizes and styles, so you can choose the one that’s right for your needs. These waterproof connectors are ideal for installing outdoor lighting or landscape fixtures, repairing trailer wiring and other weather-sensitive projects. They’re even great for irrigation valve splices and other small splicing jobs. They’re a good alternative to tape, which can loosen over time, or soldering, which may damage the cable jacket and insulation. They are safe and reliable to use for both copper and aluminum wires.
LV 9000 Wire Connectors
Blazing Wire ConnectorsTM are the professional choice for underground dog fence wiring, landscape lighting and irrigation. They are vibration-proof, never dangle off the wires, and maintain their waterproof seal under harsh conditions such as high temperatures, pressures, and chemical exposure.
These patented connectors are made for use in underground dog fencing and landscape lighting applications with two or more wires. A unique design separates the connector, allowing you to insert the bare wires first. The connector then hydraulically pumps and packs waterproof silicone around the splice, closing all entryways against moisture and corrosion. A double O-ring seal bars water from creeping in, and latches lock the connectors around the splice.
In addition to being waterproof, the waterproof light socket silicone in these connectors has an antioxidant inside that prevents aluminum wire oxidation. This ensures a long-lasting and durable connection. The insulated body also protects against abrasions and impacts.
The LV 9000 is available in three sizes to accommodate most common residential and commercial wire combinations. Each size is color-coded to make it easy to identify and select the right one for your project.
Choose the gray wire connector for small combinations like two 22 AWG wires or the blue wire connector for medium-sized connections such as a pair of 18 AWG or 16 AWG wires. If you’re working with larger bundles of wire, go for the red or yellow wire connector.
DBRY-6 Wire Connectors
When you need to make a connection between electrical wires in the field, DBRY-6 waterproof connectors allow you to do so quickly and securely. They are ideal for use with low voltage lighting systems, traditional irrigation and two-wire decoder system connections. They provide the best moisture sealing for underground and direct bury electrical connections.
Waterproof electrical connectors can protect against damage caused by liquid infiltration, extending the life of your wiring system and making it more reliable for the long term. They also provide a more secure connection that will prevent accidental uncoupling, which is a risk when using tape or solder to connect wires. They are designed to be highly durable, with rugged locking mechanisms that can withstand vibrations, shocks and various pressures to keep the connectors securely attached.
Wire connectors are easy to install, providing a simple and convenient way to cover electrical wire connection points. They are made of tough, long-lasting plastic polymer that conceals the connection point and helps reduce the risk of short-circuit accidents. They are available in a range of colors and sizes, so you can select one that aligns with the size (gauge) of your wires. The color coding on the packaging will show what type of wire combinations the connector can safely accommodate. To find the perfect wire connector for your project, first consider the size of your cable and then the number of connections you will need to make.
