Trusted DryConn® Line Expands to Include Two New Strain Relief Wire Connectors

November 1, 2010–FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

O’FALLON, MISSOURI – King Innovation’s DryConn® original waterproof product line has expanded, with the addition of two new direct bury silicone filled tubes with snap fit strain relief lids—the DBT-600 and the DBR/Y-600.

The DBT-600 is a two part system, including a silicone filled tube and a tan wing connector.  The DBR/Y-600 takes wire connections one step further, with a silicone filled tube and one of King Innovation’s Gorilla Nuts™ cushion grip connectors, which allows for a comfortable, tight grip when torquing down splices.  Both new connectors feature a patent pending snap-fit lid design for maximum strain relief on splices.  The tube is filled with a dielectric silicone sealant, making the DBT-600 and the DBR/Y-600 UL486D listed for both waterproofing and direct bury.

King Innovation’s Marketing Manager Kevin Taylor remarks, “It’s rewarding to develop innovative, problem solving solutions for our customers.  Now, our latest innovation Gorilla Nuts and our Tan Wing Connector provide Contractors with an outstanding product that delivers the performance and value they expect.”

New DBT-600 and DBR/Y-600 are for use in outdoor applications such as low voltage lighting and two-wire decoder systems as well as Residential, Commercial, and Golf Course applications.  Wire range is #22 – #8 AWG.  Connectors will be available to ship in December, 2010.

King Innovation’s ACE Connectors™ Enable Quality, Clean Looking Connections

OCTOBER 1, 2009 – FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

O’FALLON, MO—If clean looking installations are important to you, do not sacrifice the quality of your connection for aesthetic value.  King Innovation’s ACE Connector™ creates a solid mechanical connection, while fitting seamlessly into your low voltage installation.

The ACE Connector is designed for low voltage landscape lighting and direct bury applications.  Particularly suited for installations where a discrete connection is preferred, the solid brass lug fits seamlessly up against decks, landscape lights, trees, ground, etc.

Installation is easy, simply insert wires into brass lug, secure set screws, and cover with fast curing heat shrink.  The set screw thread pitch allows for the tighter securing of wires, without over torquing, for a solid connection.  A fast curing heat shrink with a sealant lining is 25% longer than competitive products, to cover the ACE Connector.  This helps resist harsh outdoor elements and water intrusion for a permanent quality connection.

King’s ACE Connector is capable of handling solid and stranded wire combinations between min #18 and max #8 AWG.  Maximum voltage is 30V.
