Videos are provided as a guide only. Refer to manufacturer installation instructions and specs for complete information.
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
Many a loaded trailer trips and all is still doing great! Its so nice when a product works like it should!
Philip - 06/18/2019They 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
Great service and fast delivery! Awesome website and easy to find what I needed! 725860
The product arrived promptly as scheduled. The installation is simple: bolt the unit on the trailer frame with the supplied star washers and hook up the single power wire. The jack worked as advertised. Speed was typical for an electric jack. The quality of the jack could be better. The three housing screws were pushed thru the plastic cover. Repaired by removing the screws and reinstalling with small washers. The fuse holder, which is already installed on the power wire below the housing, is not water proof, which should be for an exterior application. Time will tell if the unit is better than my initial observations. Suggestion: the manual jack handle needs to be longer so it clears the top the of the propane tanks. 706226
Love etrailer! They always have what I need at a good price. The videos rock. The only thing missing is that I'd like one of the guys come install it for me!!! 708321
High quality. Easy to install. 702967
Ordered 3 parts: RM-156-25; RM-156-75 and DW05745-10. All received very quickly, as is the case when I purchase from etrailer. More importantly, I get a 'live person' when I call for assistance and the service rep. is always knowledgable ( not an answering service that "will have someone call back". Time was spent with me answering all my questions and providing suggestions and opinions when I as for them, related to my project. Great company, great service - keep up the great work! 693098
Awesome assistance from Paula with the order and matching competitive pricing. Products were delivered in two days, freight included. Double awesome. Purchased these brake assemblies and bearing for backup on long road trip with our Airstream, and hope I don't need them. Can't beat the professionalism and attention to detail of ETRAILER!!!!!!!!!!!

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

Good product. Easy to use!! 527401
Easy to use... I bought a heat gun from that retailer that always has the 20% off coupon to make these a snap to shrink. 526130

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
