Products Wire Splices (50) #WW5

What It Is

The Products Wire Splices (50) #WW5 are a pack of 50 butt-style wire connectors designed for splicing or repairing electrical wiring on lawn mowers, tractors, and outdoor power equipment. They work with 14-16 gauge wire, commonly used for safety switches, ignition systems, and solenoid connections.

Fitment & Compatibility

• Wire gauge: Fits 14-16 AWG stranded or solid copper wire only. Do not use on 18-gauge or thinner wire (common on some small engines) without a reducer.
• Connector type: Butt splice (non-insulated). You’ll need heat shrink tubing or electrical tape to seal the connection, as these splices do not include built-in insulation.
• Brand/model: Universal; works with any brand of mower or equipment that uses standard automotive-style wiring. No OEM-specific fitment issues.
• Measurement: Each splice is roughly 0.75 inches long with a 0.15-inch inner diameter. Confirm your wire fits snugly before crimping.

Key Things to Know

• Quality concerns: At 3.4 stars from 7 reviews, some users report inconsistent crimp strength or thin metal. Inspect each splice for burrs or weak seams before use.
• Installation difficulty: Easy if you have a proper crimping tool (not pliers). A poor crimp can cause intermittent electrical faults or corrosion.
• No insulation: These are bare metal splices. Always seal with heat shrink or tape to prevent short circuits, especially on outdoor equipment exposed to moisture.
• Quantity vs cost: 50 splices for $18.92 is pricey per unit compared to generic packs. Only buy if you need the specific gauge and prefer this brand’s reputation.

Should You Buy It

Consider these if you’re repairing a few mower wires and want a known brand with consistent sizing, but the mixed reviews and higher cost make it a weak value. For heavy-duty or frequent use, look for insulated, marine-grade splices instead.
