Product Information
Full details
The SecureFix Direct Split Bolt Connector 10-pack is an essential hardware solution for professionals and DIY enthusiasts needing to create secure, reliable joints or loops in wire and cable. Ideally suited for wire fencing, landscaping projects, and general electrical tasks, these connectors offer a permanent clamping mechanism that ensures structural integrity under tension. While they provide excellent durability through their diecast zinc alloy construction, users should note that they are designed specifically for wire up to 2.5mm, making them unsuitable for larger-gauge heavy-duty industrial cables.

FAQs
Can these be used for heavy-duty power lines?
No, these are strictly limited to wire up to 2.5mm and are not rated for heavy-duty electrical distribution lines.
What tools do I need to install these?
You only need a standard 19mm wrench or an adjustable spanner to tighten the nut.
Are these suitable for marine environments?
While the zinc alloy is durable, constant exposure to salt spray will eventually corrode the material. Regular inspections or additional anti-corrosion coating are recommended.
Can the connectors be reused?
Yes, they are designed to be removed and reused as long as the internal threads and the bolt structure remain undamaged.
What is the exact thread pitch?
These connectors utilize a standard M12 thread with a 1.75mm pitch.
Troubleshooting
Wire slips out after tightening
Ensure the wire gauge is not below the minimum grip range; if the wire is too thin, the bolt may bottom out before clamping fully.
Nut is difficult to tighten
Check the M12 threads for debris or rust. If the threads are clean, use a high-quality lubricant spray to ease the friction on the bolt assembly.
Connector shows surface white oxidation
This is a natural reaction of zinc alloys in moisture. Clean the surface with a wire brush and apply a protective anti-corrosion spray.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Durable diecast zinc alloy resists outdoor weather conditions
- Easy to install with standard 19mm tools
- Creates a secure, permanent clamped connection
- 10-pack provides excellent value for multi-point projects
- Versatile application for both fencing and electrical work
Cons
- Limited to wire thicknesses up to 2.5mm
- Requires manual tightening to ensure correct torque
- Not suitable for submerged or high-acidity environments
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, loosen the 19mm nut until the split bolt provides enough space for your wire. Insert the two wire ends into the channel, ensuring they overlap sufficiently for the clamp to grip both sections securely. Tighten the nut firmly with a wrench until the wires are held in place with no detectable movement. Compatibility is limited to cables or wires with a maximum diameter of 2.5mm. For maintenance, periodically inspect the connectors in outdoor fencing to ensure the nuts have not loosened due to extreme weather cycles. If the zinc finish shows signs of significant scratching, applying a thin layer of weather-resistant grease can help maintain the integrity of the alloy in harsh, salt-heavy, or humid environments.
