3 Ways to CORRECTLY Splice Electrical Wires

This video tutorial shows 3 methods of splicing electrical wires. It warns against the incorrect and dangerous method commonly practiced. The first correct method is splicing wires without the benefit of a connector. The next two methods use 2 different families of connectors, namely the twist nut and lever nut. These methods guarantee reliable and safe connections.

    I watched this today, and then re-wired a cord for the first time. Thanks for the helpful instructions~!

    with the first method your splices need to be 6 inches apart to prevent them arching if tape is compromised

    Im in oregon, where can i get full wires for my burner pan. Ive replaced the burner switches and they dont last very long even with the heat rap. This time i use your hook wire method.

    Thank you for this video! I have the connectors, and when I cut the casing from the wires, some of the copper strands get cut off. How do I get it so that all of the wires are in tact?

    @@emmandoriao4129 Please elaborate. What “casing” are you referring to? What connectors are you using?

    ​@forbeginnersandbeyond6089 I meant the cord. When I slice the cord, some of the copper wires get cut. I am using the connectors. I was trying take a pic, but the option is not there

    Preferable, but not necessary. Just be aware that the thinner wire can safely carry the current (amperage) capacity

    They must be soldered then.

    Look at the NASA wire splice for single copper strands.

    All of these methods are illegal within the United Kingdom. Flexible cables must be contained within a fireproof container with cord grips to secure the flexible cables and requires a tool to open the fireproof container, unless within an approved electrical trunking system. Terminals are required to electrically join conductive cables. Please note PVC insulating tape is only meant to be a temporary method during installation, not permanent. The glue will degrade over time and become loose and fall off. This entire video is very bad advice leading to fires and electrocution, which is why it is illegal.

    If I may, what should i consider doing before doing this? My car has a few bad wires and I’m not too pleased with the concept of my car turning itself into a speeding fireball.

    This is so dangerous. Don't do the twisting method like this unless you are in an emergency situation

    If it’s done as shown, it’s safe.
