The humble beanie is the fastest splice in low voltage — and the gel-filled version is the one that still works years later in a damp wall or attic.
Vericom's VGC Gel-Filled Beanie Wire Connectors splice 18-26 AWG solid and stranded conductors without stripping: insert the insulated wires, crimp with any standard crimping pliers, and the internal piercing tines cut through insulation to bite copper. The silicone gel filling floods the connection as a permanent moisture barrier against the corrosion that turns quick splices into callbacks.
The construction is a proper stack of materials, not a plastic cap.
A color-coded blue PVC jacket wraps a copper-alloy-plated steel crimp collar, around a silicone-gel-filled, nickel-plated copper alloy connector element with piercing tines — the design Vericom calls the industry's most reliable connection. The no-strip workflow also allows connection testing without stripping wires, saving time on both installation and troubleshooting.
Built for the security, safety, and communications trades: alarm loops, phone pairs, thermostat and doorbell wires, sensor runs.
Faster installs, less clean-up, no corrosion. This is the bulk bag of 100 — the box every service van's drawer should have two of at this price.
