Expert Reply:
The Quick Splices - Self-Stripping Connector - Closed Port - 14-16-18 Gauge - Blue - Qty 1 # SWC502905-1 is weather proof and water tight, but not waterproof. To further assist I recommend adding dielectric grease # LT37534 to further protect the splice from water and debris. As long as the grease remains as a protective layer, you won't have issues but it isn't recommended to submerge. If you are looking for a submersible connection, I recommend the Deka Heat Shrink Butt Connector - 16-14 Gauge - Nylon Insulation - Blue - Qty 5 # DW05744-5 or 18-22 gauge # DW05743-5.
