Connect your 12-gauge heavy-gauge metal wires with these brass setting-type connector tubes, which are convenient for creating solderless connections.
Designed for use with thick metal wires, these setting connectors for 12-gauge wire provide a simple solution for joining two ends without soldering. These connectors are crimped into place: insert one end of the wire into each side of the tube, then crimp the tube to secure both ends. The Artistic Wire crimping pliers are specially designed to work with these Large Wire connectors in 12-, 14-, and 16-gauge sizes. This creates a mechanical joint that eliminates the need to heat or solder the metal.
How do you use these brass connector tubes?
Gauge 12 is particularly well-suited for creations that require a substantial structure. For example, shape a large decorative ring, a bangle, a pendant frame, or an abstract form, then use the tube to join the two ends. Browse our selection of metal wires to choose a material suited to your project. Once the structure is complete, you can embellish it with beads, finer wires, or small decorative elements to personalize your creation.
Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced designer, our tutorials and technical guides provide tips and advice to help you select wire gauges, master crimping techniques, and develop your wire art creations.
