Wire Connector · 18-14 AWG Copper · Orange C3 Barrel of 45,000 · IDEAL 30-8C3
What this product is for
The IDEAL 30-8C3 is a Canadian WireTwist C3 twist-on wire connector for joining 18-14 AWG copper conductors in residential, commercial, and industrial wiring work. This listing is a bulk barrel of 45,000 connectors for contractors, panel shops, and maintenance teams handling repetitive splicing work.
Use for
- Branch-circuit splices with 18-14 AWG copper conductors
- Service and maintenance stock for electrical contractors and MRO teams
- High-volume production or prefab work where barrel packaging reduces replenishment frequency
- Applications requiring a reusable orange twist-on connector rated 600 V
Avoid for
- Aluminium conductors unless the connector is specifically approved for that use
- Wire sizes outside the listed 18-14 AWG copper range
- Applications requiring a sealed, waterproof, or direct-burial connector
- Installations where local code or project specifications call for a different connector family
Best for
Best for electricians and buyers who need a standard orange twist-on connector in very high quantities. It suits repetitive rough-in, production assembly, and maintenance inventory where CSA/UL approvals, 105°C (221°F) temperature rating, and Canadian-made sourcing matter.
Installed in
Typically installed in device boxes, junction boxes, luminaires, signs, and control enclosures where copper conductors are being spliced. Commonly used across residential, commercial, and light industrial electrical systems.
Why this product exists
This connector provides a fast mechanical and insulating splice method for common small-conductor copper wiring combinations. The bulk barrel format is intended to lower handling time and support large-volume installation programs.
Compared with similar products
Compared with smaller box quantities, this 45,000-count barrel is better suited to contractors and facilities buying for ongoing use. Compared with push-in connectors, a twist-on connector like the C3 is commonly chosen where crews prefer a traditional reusable spring-style connection method and established colour coding.
As typical trade guidance, connector selection should follow the manufacturer’s listed conductor combinations and the actual wire type in the splice. Actual fit and performance depend on conductor count, strand class, insulation thickness, and local electrical code.
