Outdoor and irrigation projects may require connections exposed to condensation, rain, soil or dust. Define the actual installation conditions when discussing a connector.
Identify the conductor and connection
Provide the conductor material, wire size, solid or stranded construction and the number of wires in the connection. Include the required electrical duty and the proposed installation method.
Specify the environmental requirement
Describe the exposure conditions and state whether direct burial or immersion is required. Ask for the applicable model data, environmental test evidence and installation instructions before making a selection.
Any sealing, corrosion-resistance or installation claim should refer to a defined connector model and its specified conditions. Confirm compatibility with the proposed conductor and connection arrangement.
Discuss a connector application: send the wire details and environmental requirements for review.
