King Innovation61148 DryConn Black Series wire connector, 500 pk

I had read the reviews before buying this and found them to be a mix but wanted to share my feedback on these having them in use for 2+ months now for my landscape lighting (low voltage 12 AWG wiring)Price: Reasonable but not the cheapest. I think with this product - go with something that is effective not cheap.Use: Used this for landscaping lights and inserting the 12 AWG wires (connecting pairs) was pretty easy and the connections worked immediately. There is some silicon that oozes out (how else are they supposed to insulate???) and that is fine. I didn't find it to be messy.Water Resistance: To test this truly, I left them out exposed for a couple of months before burying to ensure there is water resistance. Over 12+ days of rain in those 2 months and 3 of them were storms that were windy and rain caused flooding. These things remained good and my landscape lighting worked through and after the rains (and storms!). These work.I would highly recommend these.

Works as advertised, paired up 12 gauge, 16 gauge and 20 gauge lighting wire with ease, nice waterproof connection!

These worked out well for a large landscape lighting job. I was able to terminate numerous #10 stranded cables with ease. Seems to hold wires tightly locked together. Comes filled with abundant amounts of silicone. Connectors are packaged in a nice clear storage container with a screw on cap to keep the dirt out. My new favorite underground low voltage connector.

Work well. Let's see if they last!

For irrigation systems, these wire connectors are the best for a quick fix. They hold up to the test of time and have the ability to really keep water and moisture out of valve control boxes.

These are great waterproof wire nuts. I use them professionally for work doing sprinkler repair on wiring in valve boxes.

I opted to cut off the pre-installed clamp on connector that came with my low voltage path lights and used these DryConn connectors instead. Much better and secure connection. And safe for direct burial.I used 14 gauge landscape wire and my lights had 18 gauge leads. The MAX capacity for these connectors is (2) 14 gauge wires and (1) 18 gauge wire twisted together. The silicone will ooze out, that’s normal and part of the design. If you use 12 gauge wire, go with the larger size of connectors.

Good value and quality. Great for below grade irrigation connections.

Exactly the same connectors as at the irrigation supply store, but a fraction of the price.

I was using this for undergroud irrigation wiring. Sometimes it worked fine but some of the wiring came apart with a gentle tug, frustrating. We ended using an underground waterproof junction box instead.
