    'Tee' crimp cable connectors?

    Is there such a thing as a T crimp connector for 6 B&S cable? I haven't been able to find one - for any size cable.

    I want to split from a single incoming cable to feed 2 outputs, all with the same size cable. I'd much prefer to use decent crimp connections rather than strip and solder.

    Is soldering my only option? How do others make a secure and safe T joint?

    Don't know mate never had the need, but I would speak to a battery supply place.
    2005 GU IV ST 3.0. Snorkel. Roof rack. Awning. Spots. Welded I/C. Dual batteries & VSR. UHF. Barn door hinge extension. Roof top spot lights. Rear drawers. 2" lift. NADS. EGT and boost gauges. Trans temp and water temp gauges. Provent 200 catch can. Rear ladder


    And crawling on the planet's face, some insects called the human race. Lost in time. And lost in space... and meaning.

    You could use Anderson plugs with larger size conectors where the two cables come into one plug

    The usual method for 1 into 2 is to use a buss bar type interconnection
    Especially in higher current applications

    If I didn't want to bus bar or split off from a fuseblock lug this is probably how i would join 2 big cables
