Ideal Electrical Wire-Nut® (30-172P) Wire Connector, Model 72B® Blue, 100/Bag

The quality expected from a company like Ideal!

I use Ideal brand wire nuts because I know what I’ll get when grabbing blue, yellow, grey or red ones from my bins. Size of the spiral wire inserts vary across brands so you don’t always know if the size you’re reaching for will be as expected based solely on color and shape. There are usually multiple sizes that work for a given wire combo connection, but there’s always an optimum size so I carry all of them since I connect a variety of wires doing HVAC work. These blue ones are perfect for 2 18 gauge low voltage, stranded wires . The grey ones will work but are a little short. The orange ones work but the extra size can mean the bundle of wires are too tightly crammed into an enclosure. Depending on the specific connection I like having choices handy and the quality has been consistent over the years.

If you buy any wire connector go with Ideal brand for best results possible. This works both for stranded and solid electric 12, 14 gauge. I ordered these after being unable to find in local big box home improvement stores. Got these in a small little box which I transferred to a clear container so I can visually find it easily. Best thing of all is I got these so quickly when I needed them!

Yep it is a wire nut.. Better than the walmart brands floating out there.. Ideal is good quality

Best wire nuts made. I don't ever bother with cheaper alternatives. Others have round wire inserts that do not reliably grip the conductors, and present a real danger. Ideal wire nuts have a sharp wire insert inside that grips every time.

Good price for these wirenuts. Fast shipping. Ideal makes a quality wire nut I use these for small gage wiring such as fluorescent ballast replacements.
