Video Transcript for All About the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector

Hello everybody. This is [email protected]. Today, we'll take a look at the DECA blue butt connectors, for the 16 to 14 gauge size wire. It is for a quantity of 10. Now, these blue butt connectors will join two lengths, of 16 gauge or 14 gauge size wire, and they'll insulate the connection with the heat Shrinkable nylon, for adjustability and durability. Now, the blue color will indicate the size wire that this connector will fit, which is the 16 to 14 gauge size.

And if you don't remember what size the color is, you can just look on them and they're stamped on there, 16 to 14 AWG. Now, to install your wires in this, What you'll do is, get your two wires you want to connect, and you'll strip off about a quarter of an inch of the insulation on each end, and you'll take the first wire, and you'll slide it into the tubing, all the way until it won't go any further. Basically, there's this metal casing in the middle, and right in the center is a stopper. So when you push the wire in, it'll hit that and stop, so then you just make sure your stripped wire is underneath the metal casing. Take your crimper, crimp down on that metal casing, to make your connection.

And then, you'll do the same for the second wire on the other side, take the strip, then push it all the way until it'll go no further, make sure it's under the metal casing, take your crimper, crimp down on it, and then they'll both be crimped. And then, what you'll want to do is probably grab each wire, and just pull on both of them or just tug on it slightly, to make sure you have a nice, good connection. Once that's all done, you have a good connection, then you'll take a heat source, like a heat gun and then you just apply heat over this whole installation, and that'll cause this heat shrink insulation to completely shrink and seal around the connection, and prevent the elements from causing any problem with your wire connection. Now, this part number is for a quantity of 10 connectors. We do also sell this in a single piece, which is part number DW05744-1, and a five-pack, which is part number DW05744-5.

But that should do it, for the review on the DECA blue butt connectors, for the 16 to 14 gauge size wire for a quantity of 10..

  • What Reflector and Clearance Lights do I Need for My 6 x 12 Dump Trailer?
    Hello Kurt, I can definitely help you out with the right clearance and side markers for your 6 x 12 dump trailer. I attached an image to reference for the lights/reflectors, these are the DOT requirements: - Rear reflector (#4 on diagram) 2 of the # PE72ER - Rear-side marker light/reflector (#6a/6b) 2 of the # MCL32RB - Front Side marker light/reflector (#7a/7b) 2 of the # MCL32AB You will want to use at least 16 gauge wire and some butt connectors like # DW05744-10. Don't forget...

  • How To Replace iRV32 Stereo with a Jensen JWM62A Stereo
    The Jensen RV Stereo part # JWM60A (JWM62A) is a great option to replace an iRV32 Stereo. In regards to the wiring, it seems like a difficult task but it's actually super easy. The only thing you need to be careful of is that you match the wires by function, not color and you won't have any issues. I have attached both diagrams for you below which is what you need to make the swap. I would also pick up the Butt Connectors part # DW05744-10 (2).

  • Connecting separate reverse trailer lights using 5-pole wiring harness
    You are definitely on the right track. Start off by installing the Tow Ready 4 Pole to 5 Pole Trailer Wiring Adapter # 20036 on your tow vehicle with the Blue wire running to your reverse light signal. Once that is done I then recommend cutting off the 4-Way Flat connector on your trailer side and installing the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM47910 using Butt Connectors # DW05744-10 to secure your connections (wires on the 5-Way are labeled). You can either run to separate...

  • Recommended 7-Way Wiring for 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee
    For your 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee, if you have the factory wiring, then all you need is the 7- and 4-Pole Trailer Connector Socket w/ Mounting Bracket, Chrysler/Dodge OEM Plug Adapter # HM40975-11933. If you do not have the factory wiring, then you will need the T-One Vehicle Wiring Harness with 4-Pole Flat Trailer Connector # 118727 to get a 4-way connector. Then you will need to use # ETBC7 to upgrade that 4-way to a 7-way. You will also need a brake controller for full 7-way function....

  • Simple Light Needed for Horse Trailer Tack Room
    The easiest thing to use/install is the NightMinder RV Task Light # NM-Motion-011. This is a battery powered light that uses 3 AAA batteries (not included). All you need to do is get rechargeable batteries to avoid purchasing batteries constantly. It would also be good to get at least 6 batteries so you can have some charging while the others are in use. Obviously if you want to use more than one of this light then you'll want to get the appropriate amount of batteries. If you'd like something...

  • Light Strip and Wiring Parts Needed to Add Reverse Light Strip to Trailer
    Thanks for reaching out, Steve! For a 60" light strip we have the Premium Slim LED Strip Light # TN38ZR which is weatherproof and rated for 3,638 Lumens. You'll need the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connectors # DW05744-10 to make your connections and you'll also need to tap into the reverse light function on your tow vehicle with the wiring kit # 20036 as well as change your trailer connector to a 5-Way with part # HM37918 so everything will match up.

  • Parts Needed To Connect Lights From A Removable Trailer Extension To A 5th Wheel
    Hi Rick, I am aware of the Swivelwheel extenders, though not the Blue Ox ones, so I do have an idea of what you are attempting to achieve. It sounds like what you are looking to do should pose no problems at all and shouldn't be too difficult either, especially if you are familiar with wiring. You will, of course, need some butt connectors, wiring, and both trailer and vehicle side 7 Way connectors. I have a list of everything you would need listed out below, but I included two different...

    To use a magnetic connector you would need to replace the 7-way on the rear of your motorhome with the EZ Connector Magnetic 7-Way Trailer Connector # 319-S7-05. You would also install a second # 319-S7-05 on the front of your Jeep and use the EZ Connector Magnetic Extension Cord # 319-S7-26 to go between the vehicle and motorhome. You'll need to make sure that you wire both sockets the same so that each signal properly transfers through. I recommend using some heat shrink butt connectors...

  • Comparing The Redarc Tow-Pro Elite And Liberty Brake Controllers For A 2023 GMC Yukon XL
    Hey Brian, To determine if you have a 12v or 24v system all you have to do is look at the battery. From what I can see your Yukon should have a 12v battery like most other passenger vehicles so the only other notable difference aside from the user-controlled mode for off-roading would be that the Elite # RED44FR is compatible with triple-axle trailers and the Liberty # RED52VR can only go up to tandem axles. Since you don't plan on off-roading the Liberty # RED52VR is likely going to...

  • Trailer Connector for Towing Surge Coupler Equipped Trailer With 2013 Toyota Tundra
    I'll begin with the assumption that your new pontoon trailer has hydraulic surge brakes. This type of braking system uses a hydraulic coupler that compresses when the tow vehicle brakes, and the compression is what causes the brakes to actuate. A trailer like this usually uses a 5 pole flat trailer connector, with the extra circuit being the reverse lock out. The reverse lock utilizes a solenoid that prevents the brakes from applying with you attempt to back the trailer. Otherwise, especially...

  • Recommended 2 Wire LED Marker Lights for 2015 Four Winds Siesta RV
    For your 2015 Four Winds Siesta RV, I recommend the Rectangular LED Trailer Clearance and Side Marker Light with Reflex Reflector- Amber # MCL32ABB and Red # MCL32RBB. These are both 2 wire LED lights that will allow you to add marker lights to your current system without issue. You can simply splice these into your current wiring to add the additional lights you desire. For connection, I recommend # 16-1-1 wire and heat shrink butt connectors # DW05744-10.

  • Connectors Needed To Tie Into A Turn Signal Circuit
    Hi Matt, If you're saying that you need connectors to splice into the tail light wiring then we simply use heat shrink butt connectors. You'd cut the tail light wire and place one side in the butt connector, twisted together with your wire running to the 7-way and then place the other side of the tail light wire into the other side of the butt connector to complete the connection. These come in different sizes to fit various wire gauges: 22-18 Gauge # DW05743-10 16-14 Gauge # DW05744-10 12-10...

  • Replacement Radio for Furrion RV Stereo DV1200
    The Jensen RV Stereo part # JWM60A is actually a replacement for the Jensen RV Stereo AWM965 so this is what I recommend using to replace the Furrion RV Stereo DV1200. They both have DVD/CD/USB/Bluetooth/AM/FM capabilities so you won't be losing any features either. The new stereo however is a bit larger so you may need to open the cutout more but this should not be an issue at all. I have also attached the wiring diagram of each unit so you should be able to swap them out rather easily...

  • Recommended 4-Way Connector Add-On for LED Tail Light Strip on 2022 Ford Maverick
    I recommend picking up the Curt T-Connector # C59DR which tees in behind the tail lights on your 2022 Ford Maverick but has a power lead you run to the battery so the 4-Way connector is pulling power straight from the battery as opposed to potentially overloading the OEM wiring circuits. This is a much safer option to splicing in connections because we aren't cutting into the factory wiring, the power is being pulled from the battery so the OEM circuits are unaffected, and the black module...

  • Troubleshooting Vehicle with Diode Tow Bar Wiring Kit That Brake Lights Stopped Working
    Sounds like maybe the diode of the wiring kit on your vehicle has gone bad. You can bypass the diode to get the brake light to get it to work again, or you can replace the diode with part # RM-790 for if you ever planned to flat tow the vehicle again. If your brake lights are separate from your turn signals you could do what you described and run the brake light wire from one side of the vehicle to the other taillight, but you would also run the risk of overdrawing that circuit since it...

  • GloLight LED Tail Light Compatibility with 2018 Coachmen Clipper ST108
    The GloLight LED Trailer Tail Light - Stop, Tail, Turn - Submersible - 22 Diodes - Oval - Red Lens # STL178RFPB is most likely a fit for your 2018 Coachmen Clipper ST108. The best way to confirm fit is to check the mounting hole locations. The mounting holes are 7 inches on center and 2-11/16 inches on center. I've attached a photo to assist. Then you can use the Snap-on Reflector Ring for STL78RB Series LED Lights - Red # A78RXB or the chrome ring # A78CB.

  • How to Connect a Surge Brake Actuator to Activate the Reverse Lockout Function
    There are 2 wires that are coming out of the actuator in the Titan Disc Brake Kit # T4843300. You will want to connect one to the 5-Pole connector on your trailer and ground the other one using a Ring Terminal # DW05737-1; it doesn't matter which wire is used for which purpose. If you only have a 4-Pole connector on your trailer then I recommend using the Hopkins Endurance 5-Way Flat Trailer Connector # HM47910 instead. You will want to cut off your current 4-Pole and use Butt Connectors...

The plug that came on the AWM970 will need to be cut off and then the one from the JWM60A will need to be wired in using the wiring diagram and butt connectors part # DW05744-10 (2).

  • Recommended Converter to Separate Brake Light for 2013 Silverado 1500 for European Requirements
    The Curt Vehicle to Vehicle Tail Light Converter # C56196 is what you need to separate your brake light signal from your turn signal. This converter will take your combined turn and brake signal and isolate them so you will have left turn, right turn, and stop. This will help you to isolate the brake light so that you can meet the European standards.

    I'd be more than happy to help you out, Herb! A common light kit for boat trailers is the Optronics Fleet LED Trailer Tail Lights w/ Grommets # TLL12RK which measure 6-1/2" long x 2-5/16" tall for the light face and are submersible. It's best to make your wiring connections with something like the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector Kit # DW05744-10 because they seal up the connections better than standard butt connectors.

    First thing you might try is get behind the stereo and try and pull the fuse out and check to see if it's been blown. Most of the time that is the issue and replacing that fixes it. If it's not that the issue is probably wiring.
