Today we'll be taking a look at a Deka line of Heat Treat Butt Connectors, available in five and ten packs, in a variety of colors and gauges here at Etrailer.com. We have one of the butt connectors out of the pack, take a quick look at it. It's labeled twenty-two and eighteen gauge wires, and the center section here, the metal part, is the actual butt connector itself. On the outside you've got the nylon covering, and these two large ends are parts that shrink down after you install your wires. It's a good idea to use a good set of crimpers, and also make sure you have your wires stripped back to about maybe a quarter inch. Then just crimp it down, bring your other wire in and do the same thing.
Then we'll apply heat to the butt connector to shrink up the wires. It'll take up the openings and seal our connection from dirt and water. Ideally you want to use a heat gun. You can direct the heat with it. If you don't have a heat gun available a lighter works as well. Using lighters get it hot after a while so it may be a good idea to use a barbecue lighter instead.
Since you can't direct the heat with this you'll probably have to apply heat a little bit longer than normal for the top side to shrink up as well. We'll go ahead and show our heat shrink butt connectors in typical application. In this case it's going to be behind a trailer light. We'll apply heat to go ahead and shrink the ends down and make a seal around the wire. We'll go ahead and do a test run and verify we have connection through our butt connector.
That'll do it for our review of the Deka line of Heat Shrink Butt Connectors. .

They worked as new, no issues. 523786
They crimped fine. Heat shrink only. Doesn’t have gel also. These were recommended on the brake assembly video. They should have recommended the gel heat shrink (marine type) since they will be down near the road (wet). 511226
Want to make my wiring as waterproof/water resistant as possible, and they looked to be a good choice. 652864
I really like the idea of any outdoor wiring connector that has self-sealing heat shrink. I don’t agree with the suggestion of using a lighter to activate the heat shrink—use a proper heat gun designed for this. 652254
Works great 646983
I haven't used these. I purchased them to get over th $99.00 for free shipping. 621681
Affordable and great product! 612905
Probably didn’t need these as the location is unlikely to get wet but they worked very well. 612630
Hair dryer wouldn't shrink it. Had to use a small torch, very carefully not to overheat. 612360
Great quality product but this was too big of gauge for my brake wiring even with the ends doubled over. I used a 14-16 gauge instead. 609260
Was a great recommendation buy etrailer.com in their installation video for my wiring harness. Glad I took their advice. Product was much cheaper than the local stores I looked at. 594081

Chris - 04/07/2019Make a good tight seal to prevent corrosion of the splice. Excellent. 488926
Great product inventory. 484057
This part is a unique bundle etrailer has put together that is exactly what any Colorado/Canyon owner needs if their vehicle came without a tow package. The installation video was excellent and makes it possible for anyone to self install in their driveway. 483995
connectors and breakers to hook up my brake controller arrived in order, installed easily, and lasted 1 year so far... 483436
The sink is good quality, but I don't understand how the installation clips are supposed to work and there are no instructions to give me a hint. Also, I believe it was in shipping, there is a golf-ball sized dent in one corner, but I think I can hammer it out . 483376
These connectors are great trailer wiring connections. 473938
These were suggested on the video for the wiring harness I bought from site. I would not have given any thought to moisture proofing the connects without the video. 462719

Good quality and does what it should. 430892
Curt hitch fit with no drilling, bending or twisting. Wiring harnes installation was as described in the instructions. It's great to buy something that you don't have to modify to install. Thanks 425374
These connectors are much better than what comes in the kit for light harness. 425014
Easy installation. Great video related to my Chevy Colorado. Thanks, 419704
I used a small torch. Shrunk up real ni ce. 419495
Worked like a charm 413624
Very good service. I got the part in a timely manner and completely satisfied. Thank you! 410557
The heat shrink ends make these very useful. Using a heat gun, they form a weather resistant seal around the wire. Just the thing for exposed connections. 409108
Haven't installed yet, but all parts as ordered and fit the vehicle. The pkg was smashed on delivery, but no parts were damaged inside 407943
Most pleased with the action taken regarding a slight issue with my original order. Well done! 394984
Still a happy customer.
