I'm assuming you're speaking of Quick Splice connectors like part # SWC502905-1, correct?
Making wiring splices using this type of connector is acceptable in an interior application, but I wouldn't recommend using them where the wiring is exposed in any way to the elements. If the connection will be exposed, I recommend soldering the connection and protecting it with heat shrink tubing like part # DW05451.
If you don't have a soldering gun, we offer a cordless model as part # PTW2000.
