Wire to Wire Connector, to Extend?

[Farkel 10+ year member]

Anyone know where I can get a 4AWG wire connector thing...

I have this 4AWG wire but it's too short and it's stretched right now. I need some sort of connector that goes

4AWG ---> [connector] --- 4AWG (extended)

so I can add another 4AWG wire and make it longer. Anyone know where I can buy one of these?

I think a butt connector would work in this situation.

They look like this:

The coupling that Blazin Jason posted is both cheaper and likely to be a better connection as it won't depend on whether or not the OP crimps it securely enough to stay attached to both lengths of 4awg //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/fyi.gif.9f1f679348da7204ce960cfc74bca8e0.gif

Actually Blazin' Jason's is more expensive. You only get 1. You get 10 of the others for that price. Just go to a local hardware store and tell them. With the butt connector, just use a hammer to mash it onto the wire and your connector will contact fine on both ends. Our local hardware store sells those for like $.50 each. Cheap and effective.

get the stinger one, or if you want to go cheap and ugly you can strip back a few inches of each wire and solder them together. and eletrical tape the hell out of them. but any of them i would electrical tape the hell out of them.
