Landscape Quick Connect Accessory

Quick connects join fixture leads to the main low‑voltage trunk rapidly without open splicing. They’re common in landscape retrofits and new installs.

Piercing types bite through insulation for speed; compression or gel‑filled connectors require stripping but provide robust, sealed contact.

Use connectors listed for direct burial/wet locations with gel seals or heat‑shrink. Check the IP rating and temperature range.

Choose connectors with ample ampacity and tinned contacts for LEDs. Under‑rated parts can heat up and fail prematurely.

Make taps near fixtures on heavier‑gauge trunks and use hub or “T” methods to balance runs. Keep lead lengths short to minimize drop.

Some are reusable; others are one‑time. Inspect contacts and seals—reusing worn connectors can cause intermittent faults.

Use correct crimp tools/torque, tug‑test each lead, and keep copper clean before sealing. Avoid mixing aluminum and copper without proper lugs.

Stick to UL‑listed connectors and follow manufacturer instructions to maintain system and product warranties.

Use gel‑filled, heat‑shrink, or potting‑type seals; keep connections above standing water lines and out of irrigation spray where possible.

Use a box when multiple runs converge, when splicing heavy gauges, or when local code requires accessible junctions.
