Easily connect your metal wires with these silver-plated, tarnish-resistant connector tubes that can be crimped without soldering.
Make assembling your wire creations easier with these Artistic Wire connector tubes for 16-gauge wire. They are designed to join two ends of wire inside a single tube and then secure them by crimping. This technique creates a clean joint without the need for soldering.
Since 16-gauge wire (approximately 1.3 mm) is thinner than 12- and 14-gauge wire, these tubes are specifically designed for 16-gauge wire. It is important to use the connector that matches the wire’s diameter to ensure a proper crimp. To perform this operation, use the Artistic Wire crimping pliers, designed for Large Wire connectors in 12-, 14-, and 16-gauge sizes.
What can you create with 16-gauge setting connectors?
Use them to close a shape made of wire, create earring components, geometric pendants, or structures designed to hold beads. You can also create an open shape, join its ends with the tube, and then work around the structure with a thinner metal wire.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced designer, our tutorials and technical guides provide tips and tricks to help you choose the right gauge, use your tools, and achieve smooth, even connections.
