Glue filled crimps

[lilman]

My stock of glue filled crimps is running low and I can't find a supplier - any ideas?

Just searched under "heatshrink crimps" instead of "glue-filled crimps" and have found them on Fleabay. Good work Admin

Sorry to butt in on your thread but got question for pc. If your spurring off ring so 3 x 2.5 to crimp. What colour crimp do you use and do you heatshrink it all. ? Cheers

Not a good idea to use crimps for 3 x 2.5 as you would have to use a yellow which would be ok for 2 x2.5 and the other 1 x 2.5 would not crimp down very well better to use a red wago ideal for 3 x 2.5.

you can fold over a 2.5 and it will fit into a yellow crimp

Where's the glue in these crimps? I don't see any?

Its low temp solder, but some have additional rings of adhesive towards the ends to provide additional grip and some sealing of connection. I have some in van, and might go back to using them cos I don't like crimps, but crimps are quicker albeit crapper.

Thought you weren`t supposed to do this; or put 2 conductors into 1 end of a crimp?????KME

folding over is no different to a thicker conductor. 2 in one end could be a problem if not crimped correctly (i.e when its squashed, conductors sould be side by side, not top/bottom). but otherwise never had any problems (although i rarely have to crimp 2 into one side)

was thinking of inventing 2 into 1 crimp for earth bonding and stuff.

not a crimp, but you can get branch shear connectors
